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 time

Today I want to share a funny japanease song about capybaras. I found it about 2 weeks ago. 'カピバラタイム' (capybara time) is performed by capybara breeding officers from The Nagasaki Bio Park - I learned it from my japanease speaking friend. The Nagasaki Bio Park is famous for having one of the biggest capybara families in Japan. The song is about life of capybaras there, as far as I translated it myself it begins with something about their favourite food ^^; anyway how could it begin with something else? Apart from being just funny the video can be used for practicing Japanease thanks to the subs. Especially for capybara fans... I know it sounds ridiculous but singing such simple songs in foreign language is helpful when you start learning. If you liked the song, here you can listen to it again (better quality ;D):

Plus, I have some capybara photos from The Riga Zoo and The San Francisco Zoo - I'll share them with you next time.

Capy Valentine's Day!

Here are my hand-made Valentine's Day cupcakes with kapibara-san and android. I've been preparing them with my friend Anne the whole day for my Sweetheart (^t ^ \. This is just a part of our work, the rest of the cakes was made for Anne's boyfriend and mom. We really baked a lot of them and I had a wonderful day at kitchen. I'm not good at making sweets but with Anne's help I could offer something special to my Valentine ;-) I'm very happy. The green cream and decorations were made by me, but recipe is not mine, we prepared it together. Enjoy the photos and belive me - they taste as good as they look!

Kapibara-san & White-san

All cupcakes together - for more information on kapibara -san & android see my older post

They came in a special container with android sticker ;-)))

Capy Valentine's Day!<3

Capybara.gif

I'm not in the best mood right now so I post something funny today. It's a capybara gif which I recently made. The background color changes but I can't fix it any more, so it has to stay like this. I must have chosen the wrong color while drawing. Not bad as for my first one / ^ t^)....hope you like it.
