I’ve noticed that the evening news on television always ends on an upbeat note, clearly designed to leave the audience feeling good—and perhaps to tune in the next day. So today I’ll do the same, showing two adorable beasts interacting in the bathtub. The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), is, of course, the world’s largest rodent, and can weigh up to 66 kg (145 pounds!). I’m told they’re good to eat, but they’re too cute to kill. They’re South American and largely aquatic, and so could be on the way to becoming hippo-like, or even whale-like. But on to the squee:
From boingboing, which notes:
“This is JoeJoe the Capybara, enjoys baths and hanging out with baby ducks.”
In addition to his YouTube Channel, Joe has an instagram account and a Facebook page.
That’s a chill rodent.

Those ducklings seem to be imprinted on JoeJoe.
Smiles 🙂
Capybaras do seem to be fairly social and friendly with other animals (or just chill), pretty much any google search of “capybara with other animals” or “animals sitting on capybaras” yield adorable results.
That capybara looks delicious.
And fortunately it (along with the beaver) is considered to be a fish by the catholic church – so you can eat it during lent if you want 🙂
A beaver is considered a fish by the catholic church? Must be why we see so many fish cutting down trees around here.
If one of the duckies crawled up onto JoeJoe’s head I woulda been overwhelmed with the cuteness.
The most relaxed animal I’ve ever seen.
I think JoeJoe is stoned.
