To ask you to send me money so I can....

[brasty]

buy an enormous field and outbuilding to house a herd of capybaras?

[NaiceToMeetYou]

Oh my 😍 cheque is in the post op as long as I can come and live with you.

[WhooooAmI24601]

They used to have these at Twycross Zoo (they might still have them, all we ever look at are the snow leopards and the indoor play) and they never looked this cute!

I shall donate £4.72 to the cause.

[WitchesHatRim]

Oh they are cute

[JesusTapdancingChrist]

I'll chip in so long as you include showers for them 😍.

[ghostyslovesheets]

just found 23p under the sofa cushion - do I get to pat them once a year?

[brasty]

Yes I can include showers, and you can all visit. You can't actually live with me though.

[appella]

They are my absolute favourite animal.

[ButchyRestingFace]

They are cute. Not as cute as baby sloths in pyjamas but a close second. 💕

[schoolgaterebel]

The cheque is in the mail

[brasty]

Just in case anyone stupid is reading this and tried to buy one as a pet, they are herd animals and can run up to 30 miles an hour, so need a lot of space.

butchyrestingface I plan to crowdfund for sloths once I have the capybaras

[AwkwardPaws27]

For what it's worth, guinea pigs make delightful mini substitutes!

[Soubriquet]

Make sure you keep your fingers clear...they can be quite aggressive and can give a very nasty bite

[brasty]

I didn't know they bit, but makes sense. Apparently personality wise they are like cats. Will only cuddle you when they want to. So I guess you just need to respect their space.

[thecatsthecats]

I wish someone would tell my cats that. Apparently it's impossible to offend them enough that they don't want to cuddle you 24/7.

One of our city parks is opening a new Wildlife World, including capybaras, in a couple of weeks. I can't wait. I'm even thinking about spending the grand sum of £20 for an annual pass so I can go as often as I like.

I haven't been for years so want to know if they still have the wallabies, but they're also getting tapirs too. I had to google those, they're cute as the pic demonstrates, but I think they might be in danger of being outshone by the capybaras.

[brasty]

Yes guinea pigs are cute too, and more realistic for us to get.

[SlothMama]

I'll donate only if you do get sloths because they are really cute and are my spirit animal

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Baby Tapirs are very cute- adults not quite so much. One in Edinburgh Zoo did a most explosive, projectile, and stinky poo when we were there some years ago. DS and DD (then aged 8 and 5) thought it was hilarious


So did I, truth be told.

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Sorry - there is a cheque in the post, obviously. It is £2.79 - my most recent (and largest) lottery win.

[soupforbrains]

I adore Capybaras! you can see them in the wild in the south of France. They're so gorgeous.

Can I open up a neighbouring Otter farm/sanctuary/fun park?

[IncyWincyGrownUp]

They remind me of brown moomins walking on all fours.

I wish to sponsor a capybara as long as it’s named Moomintroll. A bank transfer of £7.83 will be made in due course.

[midsomermurderess]

They are so lovely, a few of them and a few of these lovely creatures, and I'd be happy.

[brasty]

Apparently there was a capybara on the river bank at this years Henley Regatta that had escaped from a nearby wildlife sanctuary. I would love capybaras to live in the wild in Britain.

[laughingpencil]

i'll donate if you get sloths in pyjamas and a few Giraffes
