There are now capybaras in farming games. And when I wander around in Queens the street vendors are all selling capybara stuffies. We are clearly in the middle of a capybara craze. - ThreadSky

There is a capybara stuffie sitting within arms reach as I type this, so, guilty. TBF I personally have a thing for comically large animals so I prob would have forced this on my kid regardless

I mean they are wonderful. You ever watch the videos of capybaras hanging out in Japanese hot springs?

Just noting that they are having a moment.

Personally I am a fan of the “pelican tries to eat a capybara with no success” video genre

Capybara might be bodhisattva

I suspect this is driven by TikTok. I reset my feed twice a while ago and first I got alpaca clips, and then capybaras the second time. Why, I still don’t know…

Hmmmm

I am not sure if they make good pets and i don't really have a swamp pond for them to live in but this is still tempting.

It's about time!

They are being recognized more and more

When I was a kid, there was that book about “Capy-boppy.” They’ve always been around.

Sure. There is just a fever pitch of interest right now. Which is good because they are wonderful.

There was previously an alpaca craze. Not sure why Seusical South American mammals are having a moment but I might start prepping for coatimundi mania.
