Hey all my British fans, check this out! A wild capybara was spotted in Totteridge by “Hollywood actor David Dayan Fisher.” He saw the capybara while walking in fields near Darlands Lake on September 20. Here’s the link for a full report.
So you Brits, no more excuses! You too can go out and see a capybara in the wild. And I want photos!
while out for a boat trip near henly on thames saw one on the bank of the river,have picture to prove regards Alan.
Would love to see your photo! You can send it to me at caplinrous at gmail dot com.
I saw a capybara crossing a road in Sussex a few months ago, it hopped through the hedge before I had a chance to stop and take a photo. I didn’t know any were living here but there’s another for your records, it was near Haslemere from memory.
I was on my motorbike at about 5.30 in the morning going to work just outside Doddington (Cambridgeshire). Stood in the middle of the road were three. Two adults and a young one. They didn’t move either till I came to a stop. Tripped me out as I’d never seen or heard of one before. This was about 10 years ago.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I don’t think capys have established a wild population there but they do escape from time to time.
