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.

Funny film from Nagasaki Bio Park


I'm not sure but at the beginning of this vid there's probably an information on Nagasaki Bio Park. You must see it, I think this shows how much capybara is popular in Japan. At 1:00 we meet first animals and then around 7:00 the guy takes bath in 'capybara-spa' with capybaras of course! They come shortly after him. After taking bath they eat watermelon together. This made my day :D I want to visit Nagasaki Bio Park in the future.
