Sometimes, in the off seasons when there are not a lot of people in the zoo, one of the rhinos often will come over to the fence and look me over when I stop by. I suppose she’s wondering where everyone else is. Or maybe she’s jealous of my fashion choices.
“Capybara, a Friend to All” is a quote from an hilarious patch and sticker made by one of my former students. If anyone is interested in buying some marvelous pins, patches and stickers and amazing ‘weighted toy’ animals, actual, fantastical and prehistoric, check out the Roamin’ Bison Workshop on Etsy. It’s Indigenous owned and there is a huge selection.

We look at the animals and they look at us.

They are friend to all, but be nice first.

Looking very forward to the South American animals.
Also it’s been great how much the Internet has embraced capybaras the last couple years.

If we clone this rodent, could the result be called a copycapybara?

Are the capybara really tame?

A pair of capybaras escaped a Toronto area zoo a couple of years ago. They led humans quite a merry chase before they were recaptured.

This is so great, Nancy.
If we could talk to the animals,
Learn their languages!

I have friends from South America, (not Brazil) say they are very tasty. That made me sad.

Shame the capybaras can’t be regulars. They are a hoot.

Would love to see one of the animals Kate saw speak in Spanish.

Capybaras are my third favorite rodent. Only hamsters and guinea pigs top them.

Friends to all end with a very good sense of humor.
