The world has been giving them nothing but praise for like 5-6 years now, I think that's all.
WHAT IS CAPYBARA
Imagine a rodent with duck feet. It's between the height of your navel to your sternum - about 300lb. The hair is very coarse. It has a stubby tail. It eats like a goat but acts like a happy cow - they enjoy pets but would run away before acting aggressive
Just look at this beautiful creature.
Capybaras are clearly doing something right that we aren’t.
They are very swell.
Uncle Ben is that you?
Very deveur
I just find this funny as hell
The Quokka marketing department enters the chat...
They're just so happy to be there that they forget to do their marketing pitch
They're also from Australia

That's how they stay alive in that place. Literally anything that wants to kill them just stops and goes "awwwwww"
Yeah, I can't get enough of them. I literally have my colonists buy it all when capybara meat is in stock.

+1 for correct market timing. -2 for annoying vegans. +1 for supporting the mobile infantry.
The key is to just be cool and not a dick. They are the Keanu Reeves of animals. Keanu Reeves is the capybara of people.
This gave me flashbacks to being on Reddit with the cult of Keanu Reeves. I respect the man but if he's shown too much love puts him in a situation where anything he does will be scrutinised.
He knows. He hover hands every woman he puts his arm around in a picture.
/r/onetruegod would like to know if you have some time to discuss ..well...the aforementioned one true god
This guy: 
Is this Capybara Kobama?
Now I know who is behind it all
Okay I'm clearly out of the loop. What's happening with capybaras? Is this something I have to sort by All to understand?
Me too. I get squirrels and bunnies in my feed, but no capybaras.
Right? Feel like I'm missing out.
Capybara. Capybara Capybara Capybara Capybara caaapybaaaara 🎶
They always seem so chill in photos but I've worked with them and they're one of the most skittish animals I've dealt with, the tapir they lived with was always wanting scratches though
Sharing a habitat with jaguars, pumas, and humans would make me skittish too.
Theres a pair at the zoo. So fucking cute, for a rodent of unusual size. (The zoo sign actually says that)
CARPINCHO
The only capitalism I'll accept
Capytalism?
Capytalism for president 2024
I'm waiting for the tourists attacked by capybaras headline..... Anyway now. ..
Ikr, they're delicious
I had to block that community to get them out of my feed
Invasive species :)
I just dmed you 20 Copybaras. Their will is senior to ours and they will not be denied.
Which community?
Most overrated rodents. Where's all the love for nutrias at? (excluding the place where they're invasive)
I'm pretty sure they're invasive where I live but even if they weren't, I'm still deeply repulsed by them.
