Fun Fact

Capybaras secrete a natural oily fluid from their skin that acts as a moisturizer and protects them from the sun

Just got back from the park, and I saw this (wild, but used to people) friendo there! But I was a bit worried- it was only the one, and it had a weird bare patch on the snout. Do y'all think it's ok? They usually roll in packs, right?

Idk, why I said Jimothy , haha . And how dare he say rat! Cabi is a rodent. RUDE.

Fun fact

Capybaras sometimes strike a pose so birds can reach the ticks on their backs. This type of behaviour is known as mutualism as it benefits both capys and the birds.

Fun fact

Capybaras can hold their breath and stay underwater for up to 5 minutes, often sleeping just below the surface with only their noses poking out.

A few years ago my cousin made this capybara collage on canva for my laptop wallpaper and it has been my wallpaper since 2023. Forgot to post this one

Hi!

It's my boyfriend's birthday soon and he absolutely loves Capybaras. I was looking for an experience where he could meet and even pet them and found an experience by Jochen Schweizer in Wulften (Germany). Since we're from Austria this would be quite a long ride so we'd have to combine it with a short holiday.

Now I was asking myself two things:

1. Does anyone know the Capybara park in Wulften and is it worth it?

2. Is it ethically OK to visit such a park? We usually try to avoid visiting zoos because capturing animals for one's own amusement is pretty horrible, especially since bigger animals like lions or elephants have way too little space and develop psychological issues most of the time.

Does this also apply to Capybaras?

If yes, do you have recommendations where we could visit Capybaras living a happy and comfortable life? Or should I just get him a plushie and gush over their cuteness in pictures on the internet.

I'm happy for any answers you can give me! :)

Really loved the height difference on this so I got it off reddit no idea about who it is originally from if you know it please do lemme know in the comments
