r/capybara

This is Gerald. He's a capybara and he's not happy about it.

Here's the part I haven't really explained yet. There's a machine, and it makes one of these a day. I don't fully get to choose what comes out. So far every single one has arrived annoyed about something, and I've stopped assuming that's a coincidence.

Somewhere behind it there's paperwork. A classification. A disposition. I'm still reading it and I don't love where it's going.

Gerald's the first one I've let out. Four colors, about 62 mm, free profile on MakerWorld if you want your own: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3190288-grumpy-capybara-figure-made-by-the-machine

Ok, I never knew if I should post this, but two years ago when visiting a zoo in Taipei, I somehow caught this - a monkey (part of a group of like four of them) slapped/touched a capybara in their mixed enclosure, and then the capy of course ran away a bit and the monkeys chased after it. I felt violateeeed seeing this, but here ya go

I really love drawing their shape

Baby capy enjoying a nice lettuce leaf.

I have no good explanation for this one 😂
I just really like capybaras and really like lotus flowers, and at some point my brain decided they belonged together.
So... here's my little lotus capybara, handmade with air dry foam clay. 🌸
Honestly, I think he looks pretty happy sitting up there.
