Hey Kapibara-san!
Kapibara-san (カピバラさん) seems to be quite a recognizable character in Japan. You can see positive reactions of people in the streets here. I wish I would meet the big Kapibara-san next time.
The so-called 'kapi tower'as seen in the video ;-) was not invented by the creators of Kapibara-san - I found some evidence showing that real capybaras sometimes make small kapi-towers. And believe me,this has nothing to do with procreation!

Origami-bara
Today Capybara made from a piece of paper :) The author says that pentagonal shape is good for making animals. It's definitely not for beginners but looks pretty cool. Think I start exercising tomorrow ;-)

Lunchtime for Capybara
If you wonder what does Capybara eat, here's the answer - they eat more than guinea pigs but similar things.
In Japan, they get bamboo grass very often.
They also need food which contains a lot of vitamin C, because lack of this vitamin causes scurvy (people and guinea pigs need it for the same reason). This is why you can often find films or photos with capybara and citrons ---> see previous entry;-)
As you can see, domesticated Capybaras are sometimes allowed to eat popsicles, and they like it very much.
And, what about your lunch today?

Citrus bath
Baby capybaras in citrus bath, swimming with their mother and eating bamboo leaves (I guess). Beautiful video from youtube channel withCapybara.
カピバラ Capybara
This is one of my favourite capybara photos from flickr. It was made by japanease fans. I think he/she got tired of eating grass and decided to take a short nap ;-) the rest of his/her meal is still around his/her nose. What a cute photo!
