About Capybara

Capybaras are the World's largest living rodents. Although they come from South America, they became extremely popular in Japan. Capybaras can be found in zoos where people come to pet them. There's also a toy character Kapibara-san (カピバラさん) created by Banpresto - you can buy almost anything with it in Japan (but in fact only in Japan because they are for sale only there). Capybaras are very calm and relaxed animals, I recommend viewing beautiful films made by fans on youtube. Some people keep them ocassionally as pets e.g. in USA, but personally I think this must be hard to do because Capybara needs water to live (they're semi-aquatic animals). Nonetheless these people seem to be very happy with their unusual pets. If you're looking for more information on Capybaras, please visit wikipedia or try some of my links below.

Capybara room game

Capybara Room
Capybara Room

Today I tried to find some games connected with capybara, and I found this. I'm still trying to complete the first room (maybe there are more rooms...?) because everything is written in japanease and I can't get any hints. In this game you can find some kapibara-san-like stuff ;-) I recommend it for a short break from work.


PS: You need to click on _very specific_ areas of furniture or other stuff. Don't give up. If you get stuck then you can check these hints in comments. Most of the players do not recognize kapibara-san and they just call it 'a hamster' ;-)
