deep in the depths of the Amazon one of
brazil's most ferocious creatures some
call them little monsters
some call them potato donkeys
but only one name can convey how
terrifying they truly are capybara huh
okay okay okay
so capybaras aren't actually that scary
and we aren't actually in the depths of
the Amazon we're a thousand miles away
from the Amazon but you gotta admit it
was a pretty cool intro right and if I
haven't made it clear enough these guys
are not dangerous they're actually
incredibly cute and if you don't believe
me just check out this video called dog
and capybara it's one of my favorite
things on the internet the dog is so
confused actually this is where I got
the comment about the potato donkey the
comment section here is amazing look at
this one when your hamster gets the
Super Mario mushroom or my favorite the
capybara looks like my failed drawings
of dogs yeah you and me both anyway
let's enough talk about the other video
I have my own video to share and it's
our experience outside belo horizonte at
this little lake with wild capybara I
hope you enjoy and behind me is a lake
known as Lago Santo it literally
translates as the holy lake
and above us look at all these birds
this is pretty cool there's actually
another kind of wildlife that we're
hoping to find today it's the world's
largest rodent and it comes from Brazil
let's see if we can spot them okay guys
we have it our first capybara sighting
oh my God look at the size of that one
in the back it's a mom and dad at the
back these are not your average rodents
guys Josh said it's no danger for me to
get up close as you can tell they live
near residential area so they're very
used to humans I'm gonna try and get
some close-up shots of these guys they
have such unique faces so this appears
to be a family of a mom a dad in five
five children you can see the mom and
dad sort of leading the front and back
of the pack to keep them safe hope they
stopped
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
just gorgeous aren't they
nari what do you think you want to pet
captive are after this well yeah they
look like yeah like a little mini hippos
mini hippos
the dad just went out for snacks at the
convenient shop he'll be back
we've seen a few Brazilians stopping
take photos as well the judge was
telling me that well there are millions
of these guys living across Brazil it's
not everyday you see them just wandering
around a town a community like we are
seeing today so pretty nice that we got
the witness this looks like there might
have been some drama and the company of
our family
this guy got exiled he's just hanging
out on his own right now
poor poor captive our I said yeah it
looks very lonely you will find a family
one day kappa one day okay we just
spotted another family of capivara over
there by those i think it's by the
fishermen they're hard to see but
there's some more over there
okay mr. capybara there's your family
I wonder if that last guy was exiled
from this family for eating too much
grass I don't know but this is pretty
cool site in front of us
this is like a big get-together for the
whole neighborhood of capybaras Wow look
at the baby ones do you think they ate
all this grass I think this community
saves a lot of money on mowing grass you
just get some kappa bars to go around
and that's all you need you can see
pretty clearly that they were here and
look they just perfectly cut around
these these these weeds or these little
flowers
hey don't lose the others or you'll
become like that one before
Go Go well guys we had quite the day
today in Brazil and now because it's a
hot day there's only one thing left to
do
si whatever cheats
[Music]
goodbye
