my coworker "adopted" a capybara at the san francisco zoo. he has a picture of her up on his wall.

I adopted a blind and crippled pug once named Geraldine as a birthday present for my mom because she <3's pugs and that's her name too. We got monthly updates and pictures. It was awesome.

thats me irl.
btw did u guys know capybara meat is officially considered fish by the catholic church? south american missionaries basically intimated at some point that they would starve to death during lent if they werent allowed to eat capybara, and thus a concession was made~

probably 8 or 9 years ago, at the tennessee valley fair, i paid the 50 cents to see the "giant rat." just out of curiosity. there was this huge sideshow billboard with a gigantic rodent with a long ropy tail and big sharp teeth and bright red eyes. so i walked back past the ticket collector, and there was a wire cage on the grass there, and inside was a capybara. not looking at all fierce or fearsome. i stood there for a moment or two, and the capybara looked up at me and gave a big snorting sigh -- "whooof" -- and looked back down at the ground. i felt very bad for it and briefly fantasized about contacting the local peta kids to stage a midnight capybara rescue. but i didn't.

why'd you feel bad for it? it's not like they roam hundreds of square miles like some kind of fuckin noble majestic ass tiger. it IS a giant rat. it's probably just happy as a clam living with carnies

They strike me as sorta slow moving guys who don't do too much. Would have been better if he'd had a buddy maybe so he wasn't lonely.
I just want to hang out with one and get it to sit on my lap like that lady in the picture upthread. They're probably really heavy though.
