Lisa– Think of them as giant guinea pigs. The big rats are in D.C.

mary lee–

I hope you realize that this absurd discussion was all in fun. I know nothing about capybaras other than the fact that they hunt down and eat stray children and goats. In Mexico, they call them “las chupacabras.”

Thanks for visiting here, and you’re always welcome to comment.

mary lee–

So what is it about capys that make them whip and snap their tails around to warn predators to stay away from their dams? That behavior fascinates me.

Thanks again for the info, but I’m not interested in going to facebook to see pictures of old men, and selling/giving away babies is illegal in most western countries. How do you get away with trafficking?

Well sir I beg your pardon but yes I have raised them that long…I do have more than one in fact I have many breeders. I have Caplins grandpaw age 18 this year. I had capys before him.Go to my web site and look at their nostrils and tails..go to the links and get info. Go to my facebook mstropes@mail.com see the old man and other photos that are not on page. I have sold to many people and do have proof of what I have done…it does not matter anyways as you do not own one or you would know better than a tail that whips..have babies if you need one.

mary lee– Everything I’ve read about capybaras talk about long tails that they whip around when threatened. I doubt you’ve raised any capys for 20 years, as their lifespan is only about 12 years in CAPtivity. As for their retractable nostrils, I imagine that they must extend a foot or two vertically while they feed at the bottoms of their breeding ponds. Do you have any pics of the fully extended nostrils? I’d like to update this post.

their nostrils are retractable and can stay under water for long periods of time

They do not have tails ..only a very short area ..surely I did not write that…I have raised them for 20 years and do not remember that..but if I did it was wrong
