Are Capys ever not chillin?

u/livingquagmire avatar

When getting hunted by a jaguar they exhibit little chill. Almost all other times, completely chill.

Also not when pirana are in the vicinity.

Then they become furpedos

If reincarnation is real and based on moral performance in a previous life I think capybaras might be one of the highest tier rewards you can get on this planet.

Agreed! --Well treated house cats are high up there too.

This clip makes me feel very relaxed, infact most capybara clips do. We should call it the capybara effect.

That's brilliant, I'm going to start using that.

That was my exact thought seeing this. Even when they're at their most playful they're just in constant stoned out of their minds look. I'm pretty sure if you don't like capybaras you can be objectively categorized as a bad person.

still looks mighty chill the way it barely bothers to thwack it's feet against the bottom to flit forward.

What can’t they do?

When you're a mama capybara and some clueless human get too close to your kiddos

If you interrupt them while they are napping they can get a little annoyed.

I visited a Capybara onsen in Japan and realized their bath was full of floaters after I petted one of them.

Ah, Cabybaras, nature's weed dealers.

So capybaras stay with their parents through adulthood too?

I wonder if someone owns those capybaras or if they just show up if you have a hot tub.

[deleted]
[deleted]

This is probably one of those capybara zoos in Japan lol they somehow discovered that capybaras LOVE hot springs and it became a thing

If you can go, highly recommend it. I almost got kidnapped by a kangaroo at one and now I have a phobia of them.

I mean to be fair I was a very small 9 year old and they think he mistook me for a Joey but they weren't sure because it had never happened before.

This looks like such a vibe, I’m gonna do this in the shower tomorrow

capybaraaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

u/Speedy_Cheese avatar

I want to be that third capybara.

Is that snow in the background?

u/svoddball avatar
Edited

Could be because I think this was recorded in Japan...could be wrong.

Edit: really need to pay attention to my becauses.

So they are in a hot tub in the winter? What a life!

u/svoddball avatar

I had to go out and take a google search because I couldn't quite remember but in January four zoos do a contest to see which one would have a Capybara sit in a Onsen the longest.

Here's and example: https://soranews24.com/2017/01/18/capybaras-around-japan-compete-to-find-out-which-one-can-bathe-the-longest/

Apparently its usually the females that hogs the baths keeping the males waiting for their turn...for a whole 4 hours 56 minutes and 32 seconds later.

This made me laugh :)

Where is this?

I kinda want to say an Open Air Onsen in Japan because when I lived in country they had a zoo that let you pet them when they're in one. Plus the onsen looking marking on the blue banner above them.

This is what I aspire to do, until the hot water raises my blood pressure and I almost pass out when standing up.

u/PepeTheElder avatar

Unless I’m mistaken, doesn’t hot water vasodilate you because your body becomes hot and tries to get rid of heat via the skin? So wouldn’t it be a drop in blood pressure?

u/RudeTurnip avatar

I think you’re right.

I've never seen a creature with this level of chill. They're vibing on levels we didn't even know existed

Oh to simply be a sleepy capybara in a hot spring with my friends, completely unaware of everything else going on in the world.

That's a hot spring. They're not chilling, they're warming..

I feel bad for the one guy that doesn't fit

Perpetually in the zone

Honestly capybaras just vibe and i want one

Ah yes my spirit animal

5 feet apart cause they're not gay

That's why you sit directly across from your bro. Nobody can tell you're giving him a foot job under the bubbly water while still obeying the 5' rule.

So chill. Like Jazz camp. The one in the middle is getting Chinese water torture and not even blinking.

Wow, I like these 2 pixels!

When I went to Japan in late 2018, we went out of our way to hit the Izu Shaboten zoo specifically because of a capybara onsen. Very well worth it, and not just for the capybaras. I still wonder what that weird bath time song they were playing was, though...

Oh, for those who are wondering why there's snow in the background: capybaras are native to South America and warmer weather. There's a story that someone in Japan wondered how they'd do in the winter and wondered if they might like hot water soaks.

Those look like some happybaras

I just realized how big those they are

They just vibin

u/n0cand0 avatar

damn my spirit animal lol

That actually does look really relaxing. Power to the Capbys!

I don’t get how animals can chill in a hot spring in the snow, like they can’t just dry off when they get out like humans can, or do they ? I remember seeing monkeys doing the same in nagano

Capybaras are my sprint animal. If I were a Harry Potter character my patronus would be a capybara.

u/hulkmxl avatar

Was the one pointing left completely passed out or is it just my imagination? He looked relaxed to a point I've never been in years...

The capys are living my dream vacation right now

Bruh can you imagine your everyday life like getting the mail and this things pops out of a bush?!?!

u/Kyatto avatar

The one I met in an Owl cafe in Tokyo looked like a grouch and I was unsure how to deal with it blocking the door. But then he touched my foot and asked for nibbles from the salad tray. We just sat with the dude feeding him.

10/10 would hang with a capy any time

You know those people you meet who have zero chill? I have a theory that all of their chill got sucked out somehow and put into a newborn capybara.

The capybaras do be vibin in the water doe

God this feels like a Naruto opening scene

u/DrinkYoWatah avatar

This sounds weird but I could watch a 6 hour video of this in the background

This is the life I want for myself

u/Nobitno avatar

can't go wrong with capybara's?

u/itsbilbobitch avatar

god i wish that were me

If reincarnation and karma are real, then they are all past saints of one sort or another. “Mother Teresa, is that you? Blink three times.”

u/clephantom avatar

Reminds me of old men sitting in a sauna!

They are cooking. The temperature is set to simmer

They should be called Napybaras cause they're always snoozing.

I wish that were me 🥺

u/Drago9899 avatar

Having some r/showerthoughts

If you had the pleasure of watching the original video then you would know that they, are in fact, listening to Patsy Cline.

even this reminds me of devilman crybaby and i’m not okay

Livin' their best lives'.

u/thefoodloverzz avatar

They are feeling so good

Things like this should be what life is all about

I want to just be in a room of capybaras. There so chill.

I've seen this before, but its hilarious to me. Buncha "guinea bigs" just chilling lol
