Pets 101- Capybaras

[MrAloo14]

its a GIANT RAT OMG !!! yes it is a rat because like a rat it will chew everything

so there i rest my case

[ThePlopster1]

@MrAloo14 Just because it chews through stuff doesn't make it anything like a rat.

Most people in my class will chew their pens, waterbottles, evereything!

Therefore, you are potentially calling people like rats.

So there I rest my case.

[MonsterHunter971]

i hunt these things there meat is really good

[thatguru877]

Its so cute I'm getting one once my Rottweiller and Dobermann are dead. Hoe do they get along with dogs?

[Tytytysususu]

Sic animal

[smithy8u]

Chupacobra :)

[DeterminedGirlTS3]

I put the sound on and in fullscreen mode so my gerbil could watch : - ) Kept telling her ''Look! It's your giant mammy!''.

[CatieLikesUnicorns23]

You can have a capybara as a pet???

[SH1THEAD96]

Holy shit I want to snuggle with it. It's like a Guinea Pig and dog mix!

[ravinthomas123]

Aww I want one!

[WiMoTj]

A WILD CAPYBARA APPEARED!

Seriously, it looks like a Pokémon and the name sounds like the name of a Pokémon.

[jtxc3]

@WiMoTj looks like a rattata haha

[WiMoTj]

@jtxc3 Holy crap, you're right!

[rimidalvetarak]

"Can we call it a fish? Yes, it's a fish" ROFL

[MrEvilPenguin22]

Dog size guinea pig

[widowrock1]

[GreyhoundLover12]

[demondayssean]

@GreyhoundLover12 dont be mean

[aliengreentea]

[makupa86]

OH MY GOD. IT'S A CAPYBARA :D

[GreyhoundLover23]

[JihadJoeC4]

It looks like a tiny horse with webbed feet and a vagina for a nose... I want one XD

[OnoaSnake]

cool animal, aren't these animals eaten by anacondas?

may have said it in video, idk my speakers are broken.

[BCT3496]

Holy crap! The intro made me think these things are mini! Then that guy held one up and it was toddler sized. I needed to pause to absorb that kind of shocking news. Lol.

[silvermoonorca]

Did he say that a capybara just live 4-8 years?

It's a bit wrong. They can live about 8-12years long.

[silvermoonorca]

I want one :D So cute

[Ftheebeep]

Reminds me of Zaboomafoo!

[homie391]

this a fuckin weird looking dog. 

[kavootia]

Maybe I should get a capybara for my dad and make him freak out!

[Theanimalluver4ever]

Quit feeding the hamster...

[xxxBakeneckoxxx]

The first time I ever saw a capybara was at a petting zoo when I was 5 or 6 years old. My first thought was "What the actual fuck is that thing?" xD

[kazekageKLUHH]

I can't tell if it's cute or hideous...

[dudet56]

@kazekageKLUHH

It's cute ;)

[Numiful]

@kazekageKLUHH

Cideous.

[ThePlopster1]

@kazekageKLUHH Capybaras are adorable!!

[dawnssful]

They are cute, but there size is off putting, quite frankly they kind of scare me because of their size ):

[MxAxRxK]

those things are scary

[Dugongsrockxoxo]

ITS SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I WANT ONE!!!!

[cb7pwn]

animals like this should not be allowed to be pets

[Amy1993paws]

So basically just dont get one.

[Amy1993paws]

Humans have shrunk! 

[Cecpiggies]

Wow never herd of them... Cinda scares me...

[ItsJasonsVLOG]

0:17 scares the hell out of me it looks unreal

[themassacreandviolet]

i have one

[daddysgirl1129]

2:41 his pool dirty!

[mnlcovers]

It annoys me that at my local town festival this guy charged people money to see one of these and called it a "Giant rat." People's ignorance amaze me.

[clevelandtyler2]

@mnlcovers They did the same thing in my town fair. People will do anything to make money. It's pretty sad.

[HeFilmsTheClouds]

@mnlcovers LOL Sounds like you live in the 1920's.

[MrAloo14]

@mnlcovers it is

[MrAloo14]

@mnlcovers it is 

[ThePlopster1]

@mnlcovers I know, right?

My sister had mice and they were constantly called "rats" by people.

[hunnybunney200]

PEEERRYYY PPEERRY THE PLATOPOS

[jessicaepro]

omg i want one

[Homestar98]

I do not think I'd want a Capybara.

[killerhss]

aww so cute

[ratonL]

A fish!, Lol

[emochicked]

Where do you buy these? On a farm ? Next to a homeless person ? WHERE???

[FLUFFERKINZ]

@emochicked I would suggest look for a breeder in your area.

[MineCraftOMGesus]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahadhah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahaha

[hippopotatomus]

@AwesomeMaka10 We have only a very slight odor, not as strong as a dog or cat. Very few people actually keep capybaras as pets.

[hippopotatomus]

This video is full of errors and misinformation. Capybaras are challenging and have delicate digestive systems...and have been known to live as long as 18 years in captivity! Do your research carefully- better than Animal Planet did. There are very few veterinarians in this country who have had capybaras as clients, and clearly the veterinarians in this video aren't among that number!

[nuju2221]

they are like a cross between a guinea pig a beaver and a horse

[AlexLikesWaffles]

Do they bite?

[hippopotatomus]

@AlexLikesWaffles Yes, we do bite, and our teeth are very large. If you are afraid of being bit, we are not a good pet for you.

[AlexLikesWaffles]

@hippopotatomus I'm not thinking about getting one, but man i used to have hamsters and when i first got them they bit like a MOFO i couldn't imagine that bite times 500. It'd take off a finger!

[Casey97531]

IM SO GETTING ONE!

[voraxvorago]

BIDOOF

[mamasimsky]

I WANT ONE

[lisy1231]

lol it does look like a huge guinea pig

[rootsm3]

Eternally pissed off.

[dreamihad]

I want Nasa or some body to make me a giant one of these that is big as a horse . Then I will ride it into the sunset

[Inyoursocks]

I CHOOSE YOU RATICATE

[victoriawillardx]

@Inyoursocks

First ten seconds of the video, I thought that.

Insane man.

[Capybarasforthewin]

CAPYBARAS!!!!!!

[LethalOnyx]

I WANT ALL THESE ANIMALS

[himoms1001]

THESE ARE NOT HOUSE PETS, please for the love of god do not be selfish and put this animal in your home. they are not domesticated!

[rsdeftunes]

@himoms1001 I'd rather have one of these than a rattle snake or a tiger like some suicidal idiots you hear on the news

[hippopotatomus]

@himoms1001 You are correct, and Animal Planet has put out some very misleading and erroneous information in this video. We are gentle by nature, but we are wild animals and our needs are beyond the typical pet owner, and even the typical veterinarian.

[omgiluvjb13]

dude...this thing is so big and awesome! its so weird on what animals we have in our world! especially when i look at my little guinea pig (:

[TearsOfWar1]

OMG SO CUTE!

[TearsOfWar1]

OMG SO CUTE!

[MrShnuggleMuffins]

@AwesomeMaka10 They are great although... i am a zoo manager and one the animals I work with is capybaras... they are awesome but iv'e never had them in a domestic lifestyle :/ sorry for the confusing comment... I think that animals that i look after at the zoo as my pets :).

[lovelycandygirl1]

@10samm10 :D I agree

[XXXbrutalbrennaxX666]

If that thing bit you, it could do some real damage o.o damn

[crikeycrocszoo]

Who else thinks that when the capybara was chewing on the tree it was soooo cute!?

[crikeycrocszoo]

I love capybaras!! I saw one at Seaworld Orlando and got to pet one!! The fur doesn't feel like fur. It is actually oily and thick. It was weird. I want one!!

[maddy2000ism]

yes he would mischiefcraft!!!!!

[MrShnuggleMuffins]

Haha i got a pet capybara ;)

[zbjnrn71511]

Lol at both of the top comments, made my day XD

[paleobc65]

@zbjnrn71511 what were they?

[restainej]

Awesome!!!

[HeRcULesBlasTer]

remind of a donkey eyeore

[321guineapigz]

EEW! At 2:40 somepeople had thier Capybara in their pool with them and the water was completely green!!

[Superflamer99]

@321guineapigz That is chlorine you imbecile~!

[321guineapigz]

@Superflamer99 Well Excuse me!!!

[Superflamer99]

@321guineapigz lol its fine I was just screwin' with ya, but yes it is a natural to see it green.

[321guineapigz]

@Superflamer99 Okay... Sorry! I guess I am used to more clearer kind of water! But the one BEFORE that looks kind of gross, too! ;) Happy New Year! 2012!!!!!! =D

[sharpiefreak1]

0:51 I died <3

[CarlosTheFish1]

I dont feel fat when i heard that a rodent can almost weigh as much as me LOL

[lovelycandygirl1]

who would ever man to have a pig-rabbit-guinea pig hibrid? it soooo ugly and fat

[10samm10]

@lovelycandygirl1 I am pretty sure they don't think you are particularly attractive either.

[teenytiny141]

I'm thinking of getting a capybara when I grow up and move out of my parents house.

[gaido32]

I LOVE CAPYS... I CALL MY GIRLFRIEND: LITTLE CAPY ! DEFINITELY I WILL HAVE TWO CAPYS !!!

[divinepretzel]

sure it's weird at first, but it's cute! And come on, how often can you play with your pet in a pool??

[biancajunqueira]

at first i thought it was a horse and guinea pig together...

[dogy667]

cool!

[evilcuppycake1112]

omg omg he winked at me

[featherheart101]

pokemons are real!!

[WaySide66]

That is a rodent of unusual size

[Splashstorm04]

@WaySide66 ya think? lol

[EvilPomegranate]

@WaySide66 PRINCESS BRIDE FTW

[Jackson5HereToStay]

wait so catholics cant eat meat on fridays?

im not catholic i just want to know

[iPitafish]

@Jackson5HereToStay That used to be the rule. Nowadays, the only time the "no meat on Fridays" rule is mandatory in all parishes is during Lent. For the other Fridays, I think it depends on the parish. Some will enforce the rule, others won't.

[pennyferret77]

i don't like rodents :P

[cheapbedbreakfast]

Sorry, that creepy looking critter just freaks me out. I would not want it in my house.

[Kramgnauh]

Jesus! It's freakin huge!!!

[Hopesasha]

They mention vitiman c for these pets that nobody owns but they totally forget about it when they talk about guinea pigs.

[animecat889]

nawww so cute!

[TheDoritosfan1]

aww I would love to have one!!

[adibson]

andddddd im getting one of these cuties asap.

[douglasrdebarros]

I used to see A LOT of them (once I saw about 30) when I would go rowing and canoeing here in Brasilia, Brazil.

[jeproxish]

wow magnificent dudes and dudetts this is as large as a baby

[Venim85]

If my aunt saw 1 of these in her house, she would have a heart attack.

lolololololol

[slackerchik]

It's a pokemon.

[pupsrock67]

[ily728]

[jly5120]

SMEXAII :333

[ChathamFr0]

Subscribing because of this!

[kirbyfan1005]

The Capybara, the largest rodent in world

[SergeSniper]

Am I the only person who thinks capybaras look like gieant guinea pigs?

[FurryDemonFox]

Sweet jesus thats huge.

[TaliumBoys]

they look like a furry hippo

[Izzypie365]

i think they are cute but i would not want one as a pet. i want a ferret!

[bleedingbanshe13]

I didn't even KNOW capybaras can be kept as pets O.O

[TheCajunGambit1]

@bleedingbanshe13 You can keep anything as a pet you just got to do your research how to care for them and see if there legal in your area. You can have a pet Tiger in some places but its advised not to obviously lol.

[MischiefCraft]

Imagine somebody tries to rob you he gets into your back yard

He would shit bricks when he sees a bunch of giant hamsters staring at him.

[KingManOld]

@MischiefCraft Wait until that person sees my chihuahua army staring at him.

[HamsterFizz]

ADORABLE I want one so bad but I already have a hamster,dog,cat and a pet brother

[Minisamfizz]

@HamsterFizz Hey!!!!

[glamgirls65]

[PristineChristineCar]

[presidentelliot]

[TheWes206]

Yeah, this is a totally common pet... :P

[AramanthOfMari]

And I thought people were crazy to own a skunk. But the world's largest rodent? ._.;

[nkdsnake3]

its massive!

[nxthingpersonal]

am i the only one completed freaked out by these?

[MITSUKIISDEAD]

@nxthingpersonal

No I was taken aback as well. O.O

[teetee1324]

@nxthingpersonal nope...they freak me out too...they're so big!

[RadicalRay100]

Capies Can Be House Trained, Using A Pan Of Water To Do Their Buisness In. :P

[iloverats336]

I love how they have a video of a capybaras but don't have a video on rats,snakes,turtles,tortoise,b­earded dragon etc !!! makes me mad :p

[TheAnimalGirl77]

They are bigger than a rabbit by like 2 billion but they don't live as long O.O.

[Codawinx]

they "procreate" underwater, hmmm

[achmedlolol]

Religious logic: we can't eat meat on fridays because God doesn't want that, but that giant guineapig is probably a fish so lets eat that instead. Yeah.

[TheDoritosfan1]

@achmedlolol you know, you don't have to stereotype all religious people as not 'logical' people...Einstein was Jewish...

[usmntwc2010]

@TheDoritosfan1 Einstein was Jewish ethnically, but was not very religious in actuality.

[eurasianchica]

@achmedlolol Atheist logic: the universe, mass, energy, time and space suddenly sprang out of nothingness without a cause.

[PerfectGaia22]

:O me want one

[CharmyCharms101]

AWWWW!! ITS SOOO CUTEEE!!! Thumbs up!!

[AnbusKi]

[MsHamsterluver1]

[xtheepicgamerx69x]

[EnigmaDrath]

Man, just about anything is being kept as a pet these days.

Next season will premiere with Pets 101: Chupacabra.

.... Now I wanna get a capybara and tell my clueless neighbours that it's a guinea pig that was found living near an abandoned nuclear plant >:)
