The Tale of My Tail
Let’s talk tails. The first thing to ask yourself is, do capybaras even have a tail to talk about? The answer is a resounding YES! And a somewhat less resounding no.
Leash Me Not
You may remember that I blogged recently about my very first swim in Capybara Creek. Well, I’ve been going swimming in the creek several times per week ever since then. I absolutely LOVE it! It is the most fun a capybara could have. But, again, I am not loving that leash I have to wear […]
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 […]
The Rodent Robber (Part Next: Fluffy Strikes Again!)
I love squirrels, you know I do. As Rodent Royalty it is my responsibility to love all of my subjects. But sometimes they don’t make it easy.

The Elusive Lesser Capybara: Video Edition
Smelly is being really lazy about getting her photos together of the lesser capybaras she saw in Panama. In case you’ve forgotten about them (but how could you?) here is a link to our first post on lesser capys.
I Can Haz Cheezburger?
Sometimes rodents have to work together to achieve fame, and that’s what Bakersfield and I are doing. We are each cute separately but we are exponentially cuter together.
The Price of Cuteness – Part 2
Sure there is a price to being cute but there are advantages too. Take a look at this great blanket that my Facebook friend Katie Gallo made for me. It is super soft and the blue really brings out the color of my eyes.
The Price of Cuteness – Part 1
I am a capybara. I am cute. I have to get used to it. There is nothing I can do about it. But it comes with a cost and that cost is visitors fawning over me, feeding me, scratching and petting me, giving me treats and hugging me. The only one of those things I […]
