Hinase Does A Beautiful Jump Into Very Cold Pond. Aoba Belly Flops! Whip Slips

It is cold, wintry November day. The keeper is very worried about Hinase going into the very cold pond, you can hear her say "Obachan" (which means grandmother and is used to refer to any elderly female capybara regardless of whether she has had babies) several times. Hinase jumps in last with a beautiful jump. Aoba is about third to go in and she sort of tumbles in with a big splash. Whip slips as he is getting ready to jump and falls in.

Why do I feel like Capybaras were a missed naming opportunity, instead pf capybaras they should have been called Guinea Bigs😂😂😂😂

I prefer Capybara which is a translation of the Tupi name for the species.

I say exactly what you mean! Very witty.

Watching a Japanese content creator Capy Ten, a video from BioPark of a capybara diving into the pool, I knew it was Hinase. I can see over time it's much easier to tell them apart. Once I heard you saying the names of the herd as each capybara passes by. Thanks and I hope you find the herd in good health this summer.

I'm so pleased about your interest in capybaras and that you are beginning to recognise the capybaras. Capybaras are so much more interesting when you can recognise them and know who they are, as you are finding. They all walk in a slightly different way just like humans. I also tend to recognise them by the look in their eye, among other things. Thank you very much for your good wishes for the herd and me. I am hoping that now that I have written 3 books on capybaras, the Bio Park management will take me more seriously!
