"She wasn't just a step-mother, she was the mother who stepped up"
Bruh, that's the smoothest compliment any human being could make.
Yep this dude knows his English
you haven't been on instagram meme pages much, have you?
@@ytyoungrichnhigh a lot of people like to waste their time doing literally anything else
Yeah I legit got the feels lol
It’s from an old meme about a step-father. One of my favorites.
My favorite part about Capybaras are that no matter what situation they’re in, they still have that same neutral expression
Guinea pigs are the same. Except its less neutral and more "brain empty must chew hay".
they studied at the Steven Segal's acting school
@supremeking2063 nobody care
@Local Trashcan I'm pretty sure they don't communicate with their face.
The nose might be an exception, so it's a anthropomorphization
That’s why it’s pure comedic gold when a capybara is just sitting in the middle of Bruno’s prophecy in Encanto - it looks like it doesn’t give a damn about all the scary stuff happening around it 😂
Fun fact: At the National Zoo of Malaysia, a stray cat started hanging out with the Capybara family during lockdown, and was eventually adopted by them. He was eventually added to the feeding roster, and was officially made a resident in July. His name is Oyen if you want to learn more. No one really knows how he got there, but it is assumed he is orphaned.
Classic oyen
As a malaysian i dont think ive ever seen a capybara in a zoo very rare mostly
This is stellar news for mfs who loves capys AND cats
😮😮😮
imagine you lost your cat and you find out he’s become a capybara
I can guess the cat's fur color from its name. 😆
"The question is, would you make a good owner?" I stan you for this. I hate how people rarely ask themselves if their home is appropriate for a pet and instead go 'I want it' and that's as deep as the thought process goes. You stated the important part so bluntly and simply, I love it.
Exactly.
I want one too, but I know I don’t have a proper environment for them to be happy and healthy.
I will admire from afar
Sadly, the thought process goes about as deep for many aspiring parents.
I'll wait around until they breed the lap capybara 👅
I once lived with a couple who had two decently large dogs and they kept them both in these small ass kennels and only let them out twice a day to go to the bathroom and play with each other for a half hour. That is until they started taking them out one at a time so they couldn't play and run around with each other anymore. I'm pretty sure they had to get rid of most of their animals when they moved out luckily
Must be hard knowing everyone and their motives for getting a pet.
Had the pleasure of meeting two in person, they were chill af like that one college roommate who was always high
Are they as fluffy as they look on camera?

in my hometown (Curitiba, Brazil), you can see a capybara nicely taking the bus and traveling around the town. When you go to parks, they're always there just hanging. I feel like I'm very lucky to have been born in a city that you can casually see capybaras using public transportation
And it was just accepted too? :ooo
That's a full-fledged citizen right there.
@@klltx2001 yeah!!! capybaras are literally part of the city, they're practically citizens that ride the bus for free
Yeah i saw the same capybara riding alongside with Keanu Reeves on the bus
It's complete bullshit, i live in that city and never seen or heard of anythying like that, and also there are no news about it. You can see them a lot in parks tho,

Well - maybe we can skip the coprophagy. Please.
I genuinely believe that if Capybaras could speak, they would have the softest, sweetest southern accent you've ever heard in your life.

@@Dibious I'm so disappointed they didn't bring us a Capybara voiceover.

@@eristhechaosspirit9707 Sorry, I've only ever watched clips and highlights from ROTTMNT so I wouldn't know.
they would constantly say "hey hun"
Fun fact: Capybaras are sometimes called "nature's chairs" because smaller animals can just sit on their back and their so chill they won't do anything
Imagine someone doing same thing to a honey badger or striped mongoose, they will rip apart the ass sitting on them 😂😂😂😂

"more happy cappys per capita" is legit one of the best sentences ever crafted. I salute you.
Fr, so good

i appreciate how you specified that in spite of all the wholesome memes, capybaras are still wild animals and should be treated as such. fantastic video as always
Same logic is definitely applied to humans
I once raised trash pandas at a wildlife rehab center. These were my babies, but at the same time there was a major level of "This is still a bear that someone pinned the tail on and shrunk." I would *not* suggest them as pets even though I had a great experience with them.
Absolutely!! Leave wildlife alone, please!!
@Ben Judy I used to WRAR (wildlife rehabilitation and release) I used to have squirrels, 2 rabbits, a crow, 3 pigeons, a few pheasant, 2 raccoons, and quite a few opossums. For some reason, people are scared of opossums but love raccoons. But one is overly aggressive and clever, and the other is docile and literally tries to play dead to stay out of a fight. And opossums don't carry many diseases. I really do like them a lot. People don't know, but they're marsupials and if they get hit by a car, no one thinks to look for Joey's. It's sad. And a big reason why they're dwindling in numbers.
Sorry for the book.
@@erikarussell1142 I think because the reputation of opossums has kind of been messed up (I like possums and raccoons I grew up with stuff like wild Kratts that taught Kids a lot about animals) I mean raccoons are usually seen as these adorable fat almost cat looking creatures and opossums are seen as these larger rats that hiss and we all know how humans usually feel about rats
Long ago, I helped out at the local zoo. And for a week, I was responsible for cleaning and feeding at the shared enclosure of two tapirs and three capybaras.
The keeper told me to feed the capys first because they would bite the tapirs and steal their food. The only way to prevent it was to send them out after breakfast, close the door behind them, then feed the tapirs - which included a whole-ass hour of cuddling and scratching because they were very attention-starved. The capys would just walk away if anyone tried to pet them, they wanted none of that.
Ah, the reality behind the meme. It's sad, but somehow also comforting. Thank you for posting!
Tapirs deserve love too
@@reduxys4819 I pet one back when I was a teenager
Maaaan I wish I could pet a tapir.
TIL that Tapirs are cuddly.
Capybaras are better parents than about 20% of human parents.
Put that up to 50%. Let’s be honest here.
@RayDrawzStuff72 @MimisRoom1117
it is neither 20% or 50%
it's 90%
Something that people usually overlook when talking about capybaras is the fact that they carry ticks who may pass Spotted Fever, which is a disease that has around 25 percent of chance to unsubscribe a human from life.
Studied at a uni campus with a lake that had a lot of capybaras here in Brazil, and there were a lot of signs warning people to keep distance from them for this reason. Around 750 people stopped performing metabolic activity due to Spotted Fever in the last 10 years in Brazil alone.
That's why so many animals come around them. There is food all in their hair. It's a win win for the animals. One gets food, the other gets groomed. Lol
@@bunnytail1370 I've always had a fascination with mutalistic symbiotic relationships among animals. Like, the fact these animals know the other is doing them a solid and won't eat them is just amazing to me.
I love how with other cute animals it's like "ya it's cute but here is a list of some horrific fact about it" and with capybara it's like "ya it's cute but maby not a pet, ... still cute doe"
"Its cute but like dont bring it home"

@@potato686 would be weird to say something when you’re a Capy
As someone who lives where Capibara are common and the common knowledge that wild capivaras can have a tick that carries a deadly desease, the usual practice is to avoid areas with the wild animal or stop them to go near urban and living area.
It was actually through you that I learned that this animal is so beloved outside when my entire life was taught to avoid it because the tick is too dangerous.
Edit: it is not a flea, the right word is tick
Edit2: wow! I think this is my first comment with so many likes. And I’m glad it is in this video. Thank you everyone.
That's so sad, that such a sweet animal has to be avoided for something that isn't its fault. Fleas are such nasty critters. :(
Oh found a Brazilian
Yeah, like I commented on some other video of his that featured capibaras , they're not so chill...there are like 150 capibaras 30 meters from my front door and they do be dicks sometimes
Also ticks is the word you're looking for carrapato
That is so interesting, I didn't even think of the potential diseases you could get from one.
Makes sense though. Rodents are known for carrying disease-ridden fleas.
Fleas have been giving rodents a bad rep since the black plague, always getting all the bad publicity because of uninvited vectors :( fully a good reason to avoid them in the wild but it's too bad people misjudge the capy for the nasty disease carriers infesting them. 😢
Edit: someone above commented that it's actually ticks? That's even worse for the capy. If I had ticks I'd have zero chill.
R/SuddendlyCaralho??????
"Question is would you be a good owner" THANK YOU! That's the Important part some people don't get when owning or rescuing pets. Thanks again for pointing this out so clearly❤

The fact that the capy has that same sleepyish-neutral look on their faces 24/7 is what I love most about them.

Black pink had a capybara on set for an MV and the capy was practically sleeping while he was being brushed
you sure repeated the comment made the day before huh.
“Try to be a capy in a world full of cappers” is my new favorite quote from this channel
my favorite is "there is a moral in there somewhere"
Agreed
Mine is "fuck around and find out"
@@zage932 ok that’s my second favourite.
That should be on a t-shirt.
I live on the coast of Brazil, and around here it is more difficult (although not impossible) to find a capybara, but I have a friend who lives in the west of the country and he has a sad story with this animal. He told me that as a child, his 2 dogs escaped their kennels, and before his parents could retrieve them, they approached the river and were killed by capybaras.
They are beautiful animals, but they are still wild animals. Those who do not respect their space may end up paying the price.
Capys are quite common in lots of cities here in Brazil, never seen them being agressive in mine (São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo). But there's always warnings in the park they stay to not try to pet or disturb them, as they can also carry ticks that trasmit the Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
I moved to Argentina recently and the fact that I see Capybaras/ Carpinchos everyday is just the best thing. All the memes are fully accurate and literally just exist to vibe
@Caden Contame que no viste el video, sin decir que no viste el video... está al final...

i really liked when he said that they would be good pets, but we would not be good owners. this applies to many things and can sometimes be a difficult pill to swallow. often when a specific kind of animal becomes trendy, they get adopted in mass by people who dont know how to care for them (ex. axolotls). thx for doing your part to stop that:)
Yes- that comment was why I subscribed!
It’s something I wish was pushed around more. You hear adopt adopt adopt all the time, and then giving up pets is massively hated.
It leads people to get pets when they aren’t in a condition to get them (not even just housing conditions, mental conditions too, yet people will skirt by that by also gaslighting saying “oH pEtS hElP mAsSiVeLy WiTh MeNtAl HeAlTh” which they do… but what about them?)
And then the owners may eventually notice their neglect, but then, like I stated up top, there’s massive hate against owner surrenders, so they become scared that they’ll be blacklisted, outed, and even assaulted for trying to find their beloved pets a different home or putting them down after hearing the counter argument “NoT aLL pEtS gEt AdOpTeD sO iF yOuR sUrReNdErInG yOuR pEt FoR aDoPtIoN yOu’Re A mUrDeReR” then there’s hate for that and it just goes endless. Even worse the person’s mental state may deteriorate even further from this, and even worse neglect abuse may occur from it. It’s just the never ending cycle that just gets worse and worse until the pet passes.
We need to start having much more healthier conversations about pet ownership, rather than just “ADOPTADOPTADOPT” and acting like the pressure didn’t cause the situation to begin with. I don’t know how but this cycle is why.
Certain channels, one I like is called ‘friendlyratforecast’ I think, are starting this with videos accurately describing what pet ownership is like with their specific animal, describing the problems that can occur, and saying at the end that there is no hate for deciding to simply live vicariously through pet videos, that you don’t need to feel guilty and end up causing a neglect abuse situation, it’s okay not to adopt.
Non-domesticated birds, too, like parrots and the like. They are incredibly social animals and so having just one and not a flock isn't good for them. Plus if you have to keep them caged all day that's not good for them either, in terms of exercise or enrichment. Pigeons are the best pet birds (though they also need their exercise and enrichment looked out for).
@@asterismos5451 The most extreme example is probably raptors. AKA: Falconry. Those birds need big cages and daily workouts to keep fit and healthy. In comparison something like a Macaw, African Grey or Cacatua will often outlive their owner even without another partner (Lifespans of 40-60, even as much as 82 years will do that though).
I mean technically a Chimpanzee, Alligator, or Big Cat might be worse, but those are never actually "pets"
@@durantwiggans2212 They're not domesticated but I do think falcons can make great pets, but maybe more as working animals than as ones to just sit around and look pretty for you. (The same goes for border collies and the like even but people are happy to adopt them and live in tiny apartments in city centres and that's just a terrible idea.)
Cheesecake is adorable. Such a laidback and good mother to any species. A good example to us humans.
@6:00 Nawww, he said "EDP sized threats to minors" and I spit my drink out my nose.

When I got to the viewing lenses to peak in the box, I just saw a capybara chilling with food and water.
I wasn't even upset because technically they weren't lying
Lucky. I went to a zoo once and they had a little like, bat house and it said "see the red bat" and it was a red wiffle bat. You got to see a cute capy.
Same. I went to a carnival that had a sign that said "See the world's largest rodent" and I've always been an animal nerd, so even as a kid I knew it would be a capybara... Sure enough 😂

Your commentary is absolutely awesome. And you are spot on with the facts!
I was in a zoo for my birthday and I got to feed and pet two capybaras. I gave one a corn-on-the-cob and started feeding the other one a banana. The first one took the cob to a corner and I continued feeding the second capybara its banana. The weird thing was, they kept switching from eating the corn to being handfed. The handler told me that they often take turns and share while eating. I thought it was really cute and interesting.

As an argentinian I see them from time to time, the whole situation with the closed community (these always get in drama here somehow) that was on the news for a few weeks, many agreed that they (people deciding to live there) were taking over the capybaras habitats and that they should have expected that to happen. I think nothing has changed yet, but I hope someday capys take back their land.

I remember coming across a children's book about an American family with a pet capybara in the '50s, and my takeaway was that as delightful a pet as he was, Cappy was a wild animal and would have been better off in the wild or at a sanctuary.
Of course, now that I look up the book (Capyboppy by Bill Pete) and find out that Capyboppy spent his final years at a zoo where he was bullied by several successive enclosure-mates, eventually killed by one, the book comes across more as an indictment of irresponsible people importing animals they have no idea how to care for, and the exotic pet industry which fosters this cruelty.
that's interesting. but kinda dark to have in a children's book
Geez, that ending is for a children's book?
My family used to have that book! 😁 I couldn't remember how it ended tho, I'll have to see if I can find it again. My mum loved it but the most I remember is a pic at the beginning of a boa constrictor with three lumps in it where it "ate the cats" 😅
@@emmachudley9446 Yeah, that sounds right. I think the book's mostly recommended because Peet's art is great, but, as at least one reviewer pointed out, it's surprisingly frank about horrible things happening to animals for a book aimed at kids. I mean, Watership Down was too, but that at least was fiction with a happy ending.

Honestly "would you be a good owner" is a really good flip of that whole question.
"A paralysis demon with wings" You're not wrong there. 💀But harpy eagles are actually rare in their range (southern Mexico to Paraguay) and spend the most of their time in the forest canopy. Because of that, they love to prey on tree-dwelling creatures like sloths and capuchins rather than a semiaquatic rodent like a capybara. They are quite big too! They are the largest eagle in the Americas with a length of 3 feet and a weight of 13 pounds! It is also the national bird of Panama, and is featured on their coat of arms! The bird was the inspiration for Fawkes the Phoenix in the Harry Potter movies as well.
There's literally a brazilian folklore of a paralisys demon who is basically a harpy eagle. The name is pisadeira, and she's basycally a harpy with woman face that steps on people when they sleep
They also won't usually attack humans, unless you give them a reason to
There's also myths about harpy eagles preying on small children of native tribes, but it's impossible to know of they're actually true

Facts. My favorite part of the video next to the capybaras themselves
So glad you covered that gated community. I was upset when I first found out about that. Like, what did they expect when they completely destroyed all of their living space?! Of course you have a capy "problem" now, because they have nowhere else to go!
The capybaras have a human problem if anything
I like thinking of expensive shoes stepping in cappy poop, seems natural.
Greedy real estate businesses and corrupt authorities, a bad combination.
@@moteroargentino7944 The way I see it at this point is that greedy business humans will do what greedy business humans do. Especially when you band a bunch of greedy business people together and call it a corporation. Expecting them not to, or expecting them to stop being greedy, is just naive.
The people who are supposed to limit the damage from those people are the people we vote for to represent us. But more often than not, once they get in office, they turn around and represent THEM.

The animals in my city are so weird, doves used to babysit the baby robins in their nest and wait for their parents to return. Geese would take in each other's chicks and teach them how to swim. Grackles attacked squirrels so robins would actually swoop in and fight them, one time I was protecting a squirrel and a robin shoved the grackle into a bush and all I heard were hissing sounds. I also gave said squirrel head scritches despite it being constantly attacked and even missing an ear bc it was so friendly.
...there wouldn't happen to be an abbey in your city called Redwall, would there?

I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE PLAYING RUNESCAPE MUSIC IN THE BG!! THANK YOU I LOVE IT
Bruh I just subscribed a few days ago and now I can't get enough of this channel. It's so entertaining and by me being a truck driver you videos definitely keep me up and rolling . I'm definitely going to get that audio book too bro . Plz keep up the great work your doing man 💯💪🏿💯
I live in Brazil and Cabybaras are native to pretty much the whole country. They adapt very well tp urban areas despite their size, and are common in city parks and urban rivers. The only problem that people need to realize is that as they are wild animals, they can not only be dangerous, but also carry diseases.
Well... like every other wild animal. Why people are so dumb? You see a wild animal, you admire it from a safe distance. No, we have to get near, right next to them AND touch them... why?
But yeah... hope more people learn to stay away.
@@merya4 humans like to pet everything, it leads to some problems a lot of times but it's in our nature to try and make friends with it
@@merya4 would you say it’s stupidity or love or something? That some humans feel the need to pet or show affection to a wild animal?
@@mrmunch5615 Maybe more curiosity and arrogance, in thinking that humans should be able to do whatever they want to animals with no negative consequences to themselves?
@@mrmunch5615 man, I don't know. I just want to hug them really tight! But, I know they definitely don't...
“We need more happy cappys per capita “ had me cracking up
What a bomb video. I didn’t know I needed your channel. Thank you 🙏
Wow, great video but damn, you can't be hitting me with those RUNESCAPE tracks randomly.
That caught me off guard lol.
I like how that one Capybara just walked in between hundreds of caimans and just didn’t care whatsoever.
If they sunnin', they ain't huntin'.
That one's photoshopped
Finally the carpincho takeover is mentioned! I remember seeing it happen live in the news, and it felt poetic.
"The carpincho takeover" jajajaja mágico...
Fue divino, verlos paseando por sus merecidas tierras, aterrorizando ignorantes y juntando aliados.
These rich people don't deserve the blessings of Capybara Takeover

There’s a reason those people are closed off from the rest of you and doing better on top of that 😂
This is my first video of yours. I can see why the popularity! Looking forward to learning more through your casual style.
I love your alternative names for all these animals. Chonky chinchilla being one of my favorites. Just found you today. You are hilarious and informative. Subscribed.
The amount of nicknames you can give to animals is an art form at this point
From Hippo Hampster to Giga Gerbil, your nicknaming skills knows no limits
"Four-legged assault Oreos" 😂😂😂
Guinea Big
Brolic beaver is hilarious 😂
Hippo doesn't make sense though since they're so mean
Coconut Doggies
I really appreciate that you discourage people from getting them as pets. Wild animals belong in the wild and I wish more animal videos would emphasize that. Thanks for the entertaining & informative videos. ❤
Yes, people should not be looking for them as pets, let the capybaras live free in the wild!
💯We assume all in the natural world is for us to own and do as please with.
I’m completely opposed to exotics as pets and want to see federal legislation regulating protection, care, licensing, etc. However, many animals have no wild to which they can return due to human incursion. And a number of critically endangered animals can only be saved through human intervention. Ironic that we put them in this mess to begin with.

Sadly true! And unfortunately, not all wildlife species that were raised in captivity can easily get rehabilitated to release into the wild too.
There some exceptions, like how orphan baby sea otters can be raised by sea otters in aquariums to help teach them the skills they need to live in the wild, but not all wildlife in captivity is that lucky.
@@Scarshadow666 sadly, very true…once they imprint its very to fix it.
Dude, this was really enjoyable.
I dig the commentary. And good sound effect choices were made.
Subbed.
What a lovely video 😊 thank you!
Dude, your videos are next level… you have somehow unlocked the elusive formula for TRUELY educational entertainment! Also, something tells me you’re a genius and you could probably lead a nation, yet here you are, finding a million clever names for friendly ROUS’s. Bless you! 🙏
of all the places where i expected to see a guy i used to watch, it's not the comment section about a video about capybaras, but i'm not complaining
Actually winning
You are a legend. You know that right?

@@seenitalready it would have cost you nothing to not be a prick for no reason
There are a LOT of capybaras where I live (it's where that last video is from), and they're so fearless it's actually a problem. They live by this lake in the middle of the city, and they'll just let anyone walk up to them, so much so that the city had to put out a warning of the diseases they carry, because people started petting them and all that. Here, they're like our versions of raccoons, they walk towards the neighborhood around the lake and go through people's trash 🤡
One of my favorite things about living in a rural area in Brazil was driving my kids to and from school. Every day we saw a huge group of Capivaras in a pond. Even though we saw them every day for years, it NEVER got old! They are so cute!
No argentinian would talk trash about carpinchos. Get outta here you chileno
Awww I wish!! I've always wanted to have one as a pet since I was a kid 😭
May I ask where do you live? Even in São Paulo city I have crossed with them in the street once! I just love to see them, but I do fear the Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Curitiba?
This video was informative, funny, well-written and had plenty of great clips of a cool animal. A+
Impressive progress on your workouts, my friend! Well done!
“Even though the dominant alpha lays more pipe than anyone else, a majority of the plumbing comes from the subordinates”- that’s a priceless line 😂😂😂😂
What does it mean
@@minionsarebae2434 Google it. But be warned that many of the search results may not be safe for work
@@supersonicdiesel4836 google what? The phrase? Just say what it means lol
@@minionsarebae2434 It means that even though the alpha gets more ladies than the rest of the capy family the rest pf the family still produces more babies
@@minionsarebae2434
Unlike other dominant male structures such as lions, Silverbacks, or Elephant seals who not only keep their own harem of females but also kill any pup that isn’t his own, a Dominant male Cappies’ offspring is out numbered by the by other males’ offspring.
I got to meet and feed my first capy before xmas and I fell in love. my two toddlers loved her as well. she was so gentle and well mannered. I made sure my kids were behaved of course and I'm so glad I got to cross it off my bucket list.
So Lucky ……
I met quite a few animals at a zoo in Argentina years ago, including a capy, but I kept going back for the lions. One became a friend, and even knew my voice. Ah, I miss that big old guy. I could just lean against him and stroke his mane for as long as no one else was waiting in line to meet him (I tended to wait for rainy weekdays days so I could max out my time!), even fed him twice by hand.
@@Alondro77 damn, guess you're out of hands now.

@@Alondro77 wow, that was cringe. I have never before used this word before, but you deserved it
Dude, that’s was really cool man, informative, fun and funny in equal measures 👏 👏 👏
As a guinea pig owner, their pure existenz make me soo happy, they are dopamine gifters!
I lived for many year in Dortmund, Germany. In their zoo they have a huge field/swamp enclosure with Capys and Tapirs. You can pay twice a day to hand feed them cooked potatos, karrots and salads. Lovely and an absolute tourist magnet!
I've had four guinea pigs over the years and they're so lively and talkative. By the time one of the first duo passed, the survivor had little to no care about existing. She just was preparing herself to pass even with the younger two. Then the third one passed and we kept the last one company a lot. Our miniature dautschund would always be interested in saying hello. The guinea pig even had this funny fascination with our cats (three of the four cats) where she'd climb over these sleeping adult cats and just stay with them behind the cats. They just would say hello and go back to sleep. We'd also have a pet carrier box with a couple of blankets and stuff for her while she was out of her cage. That's why when she passed away almost a year after her mate did, our dautschand was digging through her carrier with the guinea pig's scent and was just sad when she couldn't find her friend. That right there broke my heart seeing her want to play with her friend. That final one holds a special place in my heart.
"Preformative activists on Tiktok" is the most perfect description I've ever heard. It describes lots of people, like politicians, also.
Sending my prayers to bro on the left. Hope he gets through it ❤
I heard from my guinea pigs that he has been out all night, running the streets, eating fermented oranges and acting crazy. Cheesecake and Cobbler fight about it all the time. You know Cobbler, she’s like ‘just let him be a kid, it’s fine’ but Cheesecake is insisting that the little one has to get a job if he’s going to act like that under their roof.
So much drama.
bro this vid was so good that i just had to sub

It is wild how friendly they are, there's a couple places near my house that capybaras come once and a while to chill, you can go and pet them and they do not care at all, one time I even got stunlocked for more than an hour by three capybaras laying down and asking me to pet their bellies
My heart would probably explode. Lucky!
@@ALowe-re2ouAh so that is why you have a doctor on you on all times
Omgggg I love your channel. I randomly found it searching capybaras. Subscribed!
Instant subscribe. Really enjoyed your tone and humor.
I love the Cappy blappy towards the end that went “fuck this fence I’m getting in the pond whether you like it or not” and repeatedly threw itself into the short fence until it tilted enough to get over
"Try to be a capy in a world full of cappers." legendary advice sir. great vid as cas-usual lol. Another capy fun fact, capybaras bathing in hot baths is not only cute, it's also healthy for them. Since they are native to South America, they are not adapted to the Japanese climate and their skin dries out in winter. There is a study that concludes that the warm onsen baths improves the skin of the capybaras in winter and helps them relax.
Also, nutrias are invasive in places like Japan, the Adriatic coastline, and the southern US because these places tried doing nutria fur farms. So more people know about them than you think. And nutrias aren't quite beavers as they don't build dams
that line would be dope on T-shirt or Baseball Cap
Dude you're everywhere
I'm not even a minute in and I'm subscribed, liked, and a huge fan. I'm so happy to have discovered this channel.
Chunky chinchilla so chill is the best series of words I've heard in a minute
I love this channel.
Seriously, I watch a lot of UA-cam content, and rare is the content that sees a young guy educate himself about nature, make it funnier, then shares it with the world.
Amazing work 🙏
This guy's writing is BRILLIANT! The alliterations, the rhythm, the timing, the humor -- every single line accomplishes the goals of being entertaining, educational, and audibly satisfying. I tip my hat to you, good Sir.
Welcome to the channel!
He's in a class by himself! His wit and knowledge, his presentation is amazing. I love this channel. 😏💯👊🏽🔥🥰👍🏽🌹
Gotta watch twice there's so much to learn!
Aside from the writing, I also love the tone of his delivery. There are times where you get the sense he doesn't so much love animals as have contempt for them. Not literally, of course. I doubt he actually dislikes animals or he wouldn't be doing this. But the fact it comes across that way makes his content all the more unique and identifable.
When I was younger this lady brought two Capybaras to the park I was at and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world- idk where she is now, but hope she’s doing well
lol I really enjoyed your informational video, thank you.
I love your delivery of knowledge my dude. Cracks me up every time 🤣
Literally had a few capybaras walk up to me and I can honestly say nothing but chill vibes were flowing. They weren’t threatened by me and of course I reciprocated that feeling. Love these rodents!
I really appreciate you outlining why they don't make good pets. I follow some capybara groups and see people posting about wanting one or getting one. Moderators tend to discourage or disallow it. I also follow a rodent rescue, and they get capys with issues from people who didn't know what they were doing. They're warm weather animals, so getting one in the chilly Midwest and they end up losing toes from frostbite, it's messed up.
People in general have this delusional narcissistic belief that they can raise babies from any species, when it’s in fact the opposite. It comes from this selfish place of “I need this animal because I feel warm inside when I look at it”. They don’t stop to think “what would the animal feel? Am I able to fulfill its needs and provide the home and social life they need?” Nope. It’s about how “I feel”.
As a Brazilian they make good pets, you just need space and water for them
It is very common in the northern states of Brazil
As a Paraguayan they are very neat but not for everyone, mostly because they need a lot of space and you can't have only one, similar to guinea pigs or chikens on that regard
Someone who owns a farm with a lake/big body water pretty much anywhere in Brazil or south America in general could have one. You would just need to keep them clean, without parasites etc
@@yeyosilver7067 what? 😅 I live in Brazil. You are not allowed to have tem as pets.
