Capybara and Pika's



I was in the Pantanal in Brasil in 05. We were in a 4x4 when the driver stopped so 2 adult Capybaras could escort about 7 capybara younguns over the dirt road, one leading and the other at the back.
It was lovely, very endearing little buggers who are very big on road safety which i apprieciate
 
There is no greater, majestic and sophisticated beast than the Capybara like. Geezers.
I'm afraid you're wrong. My Brazilian ex-wife was likened to a Capybara by her brother and in hindsight he wasn't wrong.

I was supposed to go fishing there with my brother in law in about 1990 but an outbreak of cholera in the area put a stop to it. Instead we went to an island they owned. Drugs and alcohol meant no fish got caught, I did shoot a duck though! Meanwhile they ate armadillo and thought it normal. :(

It’s a brilliant zoo, thoroughly enjoyed it. The capybara babies were just ❤️❤️ if you tickle under their chins they shut their eyes and just chill. I spent the entire time going arghhh, ooooghh, omg, arghhhh 😂😂

Did you book the encounter for £60 - I’m assuming you’d recommend it ? I’m thinking of taking my daughter (10) she loves them. If I’m honest I’d never heard of them before.
 
Took the bairn to a place in Northumberland to do a zookeeper/ capybara feeding thing. It was class.
We had the bairn there for feeding the meerkats, he loved it. Class moment when one of them sat on his knee and looked right at him, he looked back with a big grin on his face, and my fancy phone camera fucked the picture right up.

The staff there were all really friendly and they know their stuff. Nice to have a wander round even at this time of year.
