Where Do Capybaras Live?
The simple answer is that capybaras live in South America. (No, they don’t come from Australia.) They range from eastern Panama, where the Lesser Capybaras live, and into Argentina in […]
Dobby the Capybara Grows Up
I watched Dobby grow from bunny size to mastiff over ten years. Those of you who visited here (90 visitors in 2018 alone!) understand how enormous these animals are. None […]
Capybaras Don’t Like Snow
The temperatures dipped below 12f degrees (-11c) for two nights and then 15f. Tonight is a balmy 28f, but the snow is supposed to start again tomorrow, before the big […]
Tribute to Dobby
It won’t surprise you to learn that my home is full of capybara memorabilia. Capybara artifacts are difficult to find, even in South America, where the animals are common, like […]

Prince Dobalob Builds a Zeppelin (Part One)
Spoiler Alert! Right now, this story has no ending. I am writing that now and have enough confidence to post the beginning, though the end is driving continuity changes throughout. […]
How is a capybara like a sheep?
There are so many inherent problems with finding a replacement for Dobby the capybara, that for months after his death I was bewildered. I knew that it would be unfair […]
How Not to Care for a Pet Capybara

The tender story of a capybara raised between dogs

Capybara where. Capybaras – large capybaras | marichi-moda
Just when I think I’ve seen everything, a wacky post like this comes up. This website is Russian, I think, and translated fairly well from that language (It’s not like […]
