Turning Five
Well, it finally happened! I turned five! And guess what I got for my birthday:bamboo! Delicious and nutritious. I’d much rather have bamboo than a dumb birthday cake. We capys aren’t into confections.
Spanish Students Video
You probably remember that I had a bunch of Spanish students from a local school visit me last month. Well, one of the teachers made a rather excellent video of me. I’d like to share that with you.

Even though I mostly kept my […]
I’m the You in YouTube
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfKM-TkNyJg&t=4s[/youtube] Meeting My Bear It has been a long time since my last post. I’ve been a bit under the weather. My pneumonia cleared up but I am still not quite myself. MelT is always worrying about me, even when I’m in tip-top shape, so you can imagine what a stress her stress is putting […]

Running in Halls With Cats
[youtube]https://youtu.be/l-oWqicM_Zg[/youtube] I don’t have much to say in this post, just watch the video. Okay, I have one thing to say. I have heard that some of my viewers think that I am editing my life so as to appear cuter than I actually am. This is not true. There is no way to capture […]
Acting Like a Cat
People are always asking Melly if I am “house trained.” What is up with that? How rude can you be! I often contemplate asking them right back. If their manners are so poor it is quite possible that they are not house trained! But obviously I am too gentile a capybara to dignify such a […]
Hats and Rats
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and not getting too much snow or cold weather (for those in the northern hemisphere) or too much heat (for those in the southern hemisphere). It has been pretty nice here, a bit cold but not too bad. Today it is mid 60s F so I’ve been outside […]
Teeth and Creek
If you’ve been following my blog, you know I’ve been having some problems with my teeth, cute as they are. In this post I’m going to give you an update on them AND I’m going to tell you about something really incredible that happened in my creek!
Kapi’yva Exotics: Part 1
Scarlet and Scarlotta Owner’s Blog: Every now and then I do something interesting that Garibaldi Rous is not involved in so I post on this blog myself. I know, it is hard to believe that there is anything interesting that doesn’t involve Gari but you’ll just have to read this post and make your own […]
What I Am Not: An Agouti
One of the animals we capybaras are most often confused with is an agouti. Agoutis are rodents and their range overlaps with the range of capybaras but we are not the same animal. In the photo above you can see a Panamanian agouti running. In the photo you can see some of the ways we […]
