  How do you feel about manatees?

    100 pounds? Capybaras aren’t anywhere near the size of my other examples. But I’d stay out of the water with a manatee. I don’t think a manatee would care about my existence, but I’d be fine with petting one while I’m on a boat and it’s in the water.

      Giant is a relative term, w/r/t capybara.

        Ah, I take your meaning now. It was a little blurred with the manatee. As recompense for my misunderstanding, here’s a giant grain of sand

    Petting a manatee is a $10,000 fine. No touch.

      Yeah that’s the only thing that would keep me from swimming with on. Also that I hate swimming in murky water, reeds, or sea weed.

  There’s a band of capibaras living in my city… they already killed 2 people.

    Capybara are dangerous?! Do they kill by biting or what?

    source

    • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes, they bite.

      The local news had to run a campaign for people not to try to pet the capibaras.

  I’d much rather turn a blind corner and find myself standing right in front of a grizzly mother with her cubs than a hippo or a moose.
