The Capybara May Be Chill, But It Still Says No to Drugs
Released on 10/17/2016
[Narrator] Ah, who doesn't love a good dip
in a kiddie pool,
however cautiously you may go about it.
Capybaras aren't native to kiddie pools,
instead you can find them in the waterways
of South America.
This is the world's largest rodent.
How largest exactly?
Think 175 pounds.
That's heavier than your average human male,
not an American human male, mind you,
definitely not heavier than that.
The capybara has a certain angry slash
baked look to it,
like a stoner who just now found out
Pee-wee's Playhouse got cancelled.
Capybaras are way chill.
This one here is tight with a monkey.
And the capybara is certainly the family type.
One male claims control of a group
while the females share child care duties.
Now, you'll notice that the capybara's
eyes, and ears, and nose
are all on top of its head.
That's because this giant rodent
spends a good amount of its life
puttering around ponds and rivers.
Keeping all those senses above the waterline
helps it spot predators like jaguars.
And these webbed feet help propel
the capybara as it searches
for vegetation to eat,
including, but not limited to marijuana.
I jest, of course.
Capybaras say no to drugs,
though I do have my suspicions.
