Sounds like they’re super different in many ways! They’re both cute have similar diets and just almost similar in looks 🥰

[@ScottysAnimals]

I had fun learning the differences and the things they have in common!

The top difference. Everything freaks out a Guinea Pig. Nothing freaks out a Capybara. They are the masters of chill

Thanks for the comparisons.. I enjoyed looking at the Capybaras at the zoo but they only had one.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

I love how Capy from Kona and Suba is such a great model for this video ❤

[@ScottysAnimals]

He sure is!

[@fitzguineavision]

3:19 Thats quite the image of a piggy with poop in their mouth! Love it.

[@KonaSuba]

Great video!

[@ScottysAnimals]

Thank you for helping 😊

[@oldvlognewtricks]

Loved seeing Capy showing his best poses 🥰

[@equestrianrosie]

my mind was blown when you said 20 teeth. I always figured they had twelve!

[@jenniferhwaddington]

That was a great video, Scotty! Super cute to see them side by side and learn about capybaras.

[@ScottysAnimals]

Thanks Jennifer! ❤️

[@lizwidner1208]

Awwwww thank you for he great info! I actually didn't know that much about capybaras. I'm perfectly happy with my 2 guinea pig boys, they poop enough!!! :) I agree, if capybaras are happiest in a herd, then I don't think they should be kept as pets. Just enjoy watching them in their natural habitats with their capybara families! :) Much love to you and your piggies, Scotty! I appreciate what you do :)

[@amandaliverpool3374]

Brilliant video Scotty. Always new things to learn 👍🙏

[@ScottysAnimals]

Glad you enjoyed it, Amanda ❤

[@ucjaromanczyk5623]

@@ScottysAnimals I am always enjoy your videos too Mr.Scotty! And I am glad that you put into your videis Capy photos from Kona and Suba channel and one shot of capybara from ENCANTO movie. This video will be always makes me happy because no matter of diffrences and of course aware of it( that's why I always repeat to mr.Martin this guinea boy is not Capybara because he isn't it ,He's Capy! LOL!) love both of them Anyways I tell you one think mr.Scotty in the youtube is a lot of channels and videos .Some of them can be interesting but how lower you get ,discover that is a lot of trash in it so you have choose them selectively .But there is one topic which I always be follow ok maybe two or three.Animals,rodents guinea pigs. With the biggest pressure on GUINEA PIGS. Those are the safest,cuttest ,funniest .... just best videos ever! In the history of forever!,But it wasn't so awesome of course without the people who have big hearts,souls and open minds to create that channels and rescuse this little furry angels. So I can't thank enough to you zmr.Scotty ,Miss Saskia,Mr,Martin, FatherAndrew von Trapp,Miss from Little Andventures channel to make my life ,and everydays better.Smile on my face and growing heart! Just thank you Mr.Scotty(sorry for my write volubly )! May God Always Bless You!

[@silviavillamizar1006]

Scotty, you should add Vegas Friends of Guinea Pig Rescue to your list 😊

[@ScottysAnimals]

Yes I absolutely need to, I think they are on the list of updates when I do my website and I'm going to do it very soon

[@kandihinshaw1870]

Scott sweetheart I love the fact that you did this video. Because I personally know that guinea pigs in Capybaras are related you're in the same family group. But I love the fact that you pinpointed the differences between the two. And I'm wanting to know if you're going to do a video on the things that makes them alike?

[@fitzguineavision]

well he sort of did list off the similarities in this video too! Such as how they're both herbivores but because Capybaras enjoy being in water they also eat water plants. And how they are both herd animals,. things like that.

[@kandihinshaw1870]

​@@fitzguineavisionyes I'm fully aware of that I did watch the entire video. But the video itself was about how they are different. Not how they are similar.

[@fitzguineavision]

@kandihinshaw1870 I was just making a point that he did touch base on that too. Lol but yes it's a great idea too

[@guineapigtalks]

loved this

They act the same. I watched enough of them to know & their movements & cornpop dance

[@CeruleanMoon]

Great video! The first time I seen a capybara I was like OMG, A GIANT GUINEA PIG! I WANT IT! lol Both are super cute but of course I prefer my guinea pigs

[@choerryb0mb]

the video was very nice and informative, thank you scotty!

[@simplydavemn]

I would love some pet cappys, but I just don't think I could provide the sort fo life they would need. The Pipsqueakery has 2 Cappys that were obviously loved and well solcilized before they were surrendered to the Sanctuary, but they lost toes on their front feet due to frostbite.

[@fitzguineavision]

I always enjoy watching your content and am always learning something new.. I didn't realise that capybaras eat water plants too, but that does make sense. Thanks for the video.

[@annarice6290]

Great video scotty!! Appreciate all your work

[@annekescharenborg6530]

Such a nice video! In The Netherlands, where I live, I resently visited a animal park, small zoo: Avifauna it is called. The animals are very well taken care of. Here I ssw a rodent of the caviidae family: Mara's. Very cute and instandly reminded me of capibara's and guineapigs.

[@ScottysAnimals]

Thank you for sharing that!

[@horsetuna]

A few months ago at one of those liquidation centers I actually found a Capybara Care Guide. It seems either poorly translated or poorly written (maybe ai?). But finding it in Canada for some reason is very amusing If you're curious I can't find any laws against owning a Capybara in Manitoba Canada.

[@ScottysAnimals]

Uh oh! I hope you have a pool

[@horsetuna]

@@ScottysAnimals haha. Sadly the local bylaws on exotic pets probably forbids large south american rodents

[@natenaitopaku1947]

Omg so when I call my piggies "Rustleteeth twentyteeth" when they rustle their teeth at me impatiently, I'm correct lol Also, Martin's (Kona and Suba) Capybara is a capy at heart, we all know that heheh ^•^

[@ScottysAnimals]

Hahaha so true on both counts

What a wonderful video! I fell in love with the capybaras like I did with guinea pigs-such sweet creatures!

[@MarrisaPlays]

Scotty have you watched the Urban Rescue Ranch channel here on youtube. Uncle Ben is a wildlife rescuer so the animals can change depending on the rehab needed but he has 4 capybaras and the cutest little prarie dog. Its such a great channel and he does creature features sometiimes where he will explain interesting facts about an animal. the most recent was on 4 small foxes he's rehabing.

[@ScottysAnimals]

I will have to check them out, thank you for the recommendation❤

[@MisSummerSweetie]

Capybaras are my favorite animal, closely followed by Guinea pigs. I’ve had Guinea pigs when I was a kid, and I’d love to have them again, but my husbands against it. It’s also legal to own a capybara where I live (Arizona), but it’s a lot of money just for the capybara. They’re adorable, but I’ll leave the care up to those who have the means.

[@faith5563]

Fascinating. Thanks for the education Scotty.

[@marsukarhu9477]

I call capybaras "Big Guinea-Pigs"...

[@ruthcz4360]

Capybaras are super cute. BUT: Where are the pet capyparas coming from caught in the wild or bred under horrible conditions?

[@ScottysAnimals]

That's a good question.

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

If I remember correctly an capybara in NY you need can only have them for educational and research purposes since a lot groups in NY do have a small group of capybara for education

[@ScottysAnimals]

Not exactly sure what the purpose of in-person capybara education would be. If I was to make a list of the most important things kids need to know, capybaras would not be at the top of the list 😂

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

@@ScottysAnimals hey, remember I'm running on outdated information here last time I saw a capybara was at a zoo in NJ and someone ask if you can have them as a pet that where I got that Information from

[@veggiepigs3937]

I’m saddened to know people are able to keep capybaras in certain US states. I don’t think that’s the case in Canada. Although trust me , we have our own animal welfare issues here as well. 😢

[@teijaflink2226]

I wonder what your opinion is about some people only getting one capybara to their zoo because they want to use the capybara for human interactions, I have seen one say that they will be easier to train to have only one capybara and that it will be fine if the capybara is constantly around humans. To me this just sounds so wrong because I have been taught the best friend for a guinea pig is another guinea pig (I would think it's the same for a capybara too) and then there are lots of other animals in the zoo so I can't really see them being able to constantly spend time with the capybara too. Perhaps I'm way too concerned as I'm no capybara expert but I feel really dissapointed that people think like this about social animals, that they think humans are enough or don't care about the animals basic needs because they want to use the animal (in this case for a zoo) and that is more important than basic needs.

I love capys almost as much as I love guineas, but they are wild animals. There are some similarities, but keeping them as pets is unfair.

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Capabaras are just big guinea pigs😊

[@ScottysAnimals]

But how are they different, list five ways... This is for a grade

[@RareMusicProduction]

Do a Rat Difference. To me Capys are more of a Rat

[@ScottysAnimals]

Lol I will look into it

[@schokolina2401]

Capybaras als Haustier zu halten ist nicht Tiergerecht. Was man sieht sind einzelne Capybaras die mit Hunden und Katzen zusammen leben müssen und in einer Badewanne schwimmen. Unmöglich 😑 aber sie sind ja so niedlich und dass sie Bedürfnisse wie jedes andere Lebewesen haben ist diesen Menschen mal wieder egal 🙄🤐 unabhängig von deinem Video gesagt Scotty. Ich habe es nur flüchtig gesehen und das es ein Aufklärung video ist

[@ScottysAnimals]

Absolutely ❤
