The largest rodent in the world, the capybara, has recently taken over the internet. They seem to be the friendliest animals on the planet and they love interacting with other creatures. They can make friends with a wide range of animals, including domestic pets like cats and birds as well as wild animals like deer, monkeys, and even ferocious crocodiles. Of course, humans cannot be completely reliant on their extensive friend list. Let's meet Capi, a cute capybara who resides in Brazil, and watch as she bonds with her human friend.
During his daily run through Brazil's Parque Náutico, Luciano Mochinski frequently encounters a group of capybaras.

Though he ran through capybara land every day, he had never tried interacting with them. He thought that they were wild and not getting used to human contact. However, he loves taking photos and videos of them lying and lounging around the grass.

However, a surprising thing happened one rainy day.

On that day, a capybara unexpectedly sought refuge under Luciano's umbrella. And he started calling her Capi. Since Luciano still believed that wild animals were not accustomed to human contact, he assumed that their encounter with Capi would only happen once.

The following day, however, Luciano passed the capybaras once more, and, to his surprise, Capi came over to say hello. Capi and Luciano grew close very quickly.
Since then, they have hung out whenever he goes to the park.

Capi clearly looked forward to Luciano's visits because they meant more love and cuddles from her new friend. One day, while taking his usual stroll through the park, Luciano noticed two new members joining the group. They were infants, he realized.

They were the newborns of his friend Capi. He could notice how Capi carefully watched her children, as any new mother would. She fed them and followed them around while they were on the move.

Even though Capi was incredibly protective, she still let Luciano get close to her and her children. She was comfortable letting him go near them when she was nursing them.
Over time, every capybara in the group gave Luciano permission to visit them and socialize with them while out on his daily walks. He would simply hang around them, watching them graze by the river.
