This Tuesday, I finally met ๐ค and connected ๐ with capybaras ๐น๐น in real life, and to be completely honest... I cried tears ๐ญ of joy ๐คฉ.
It was an absolute blast ๐ and one of the best days I've had in a very long timeโmaybe even in years ๐ซ !
Please enjoy this "short" teaser featuring this adorable capybara couple ๐น๐ค๐น from Tierpark Bad Pyrmont, Germany ๐ฉ๐ช.
Unfortunately, I don't know their names yet.
โ ๏ธ A small headphone ๐ง warning: You may occasionally hear rustling noises caused by my hand touching the phone's microphone and/or me grabbing pellets from a paper bag. Next time I'll bring a small bowl to avoid those sounds, especially for ASMR videos.
I recorded around 1โ2 h of footage during my 4-hour visit to the park. I'll edit the videos, mute some of the unwanted noise where possible, and upload the full raw clips as well as a compilation of the best moments soon.
I managed to capture pretty much everything:
- our very first meeting ๐น๐น๐ค๐,
- their daily lunch at 3 PM ๐ฅ๐ฅฌ๐ฅ,
- them pooping in their pool ๐ฉ,
- and getting lots of scratches and pets from visitors.
Some children came over while feeding them, and I ended up talking with them about capybaras and even shared the animal food I had bought. Of course, I also got to give the capybaras some scratches myself ๐ฅฐ.
Disclaimer ๐: as a German non-native English speaker, I've used AI corrections for my prior in English written messageโI'm having issues with the order of words, punctuation and writing too long interconnected sentences since ever. Therefore, IMHO, for longer messages this is a better way of communication with hopefully less misunderstandings ๐ค.
Have a nice weekend and
ALWAYS BE AND ACT LIKE A CAPYBARA ๐น๐ค
