Best of Texas? You bet I am!

I recently did an interview with Amanda Newman-Warr of the Best Of Texas website. One thing I like about Amanda is that she wanted to interview me and not my owner. Of the two of us, I am by far the more interesting. My owner is one of almost 7 billion after all. I’m pretty sure there are nothing like that many capybaras, although it is a nice thought. Anyway, you can read the interview here.

Capybara scratches

Caplin Rous, a 2-year-old capybara, enjoys a good long scratch. This video show how capybaras puff up their fur when they are happy. It also captures some of his noises. The main noise is “I’m happy but I want something.” Our new rabbit, Maple, makes her film debut and is a bit of a pest. Toward the end of the video she climbs on Caplin’s back.
