one time i asked my brazilian labmate from grad school if it's common to see capybaras in brazil or if they're kind of elusive and she was like "oh they're everywhere like deer"
this pleases me
@cam i want to go to brazil
@wallhackio to see a capy?
@wallhackio @cam no you also need to eat the pão de queijo. Then leave
@wallhackio @cam mastodon road trip to Brazil. Do any of us speak Brazilian Portuguese?
@cam @wallhackio I took (LatAm) Spanish and I get the impression I would have better luck conversing with someone who knows Italian
Okay! Mastodon Brazilian Portuguese study group THEN road trip
@wallhackio @lapis can they eat cheese and bread
@cam @wallhackio I imagine it's like feeding a duck. They can eat bread but it's like a junk food
@cam @wallhackio but I did Anthropology not zoology
@lapis @cam I did a very brief google search and because we live in a post SEO optimization hellscape I couldn't find much conclusive information in a couple minutes and got bored
But my current opinion is "you probably shouldn't but its unlikely to be catastrophic if you did, but you still probably shouldn't"
@wallhackio @cam just feed them un poquito y no más (pretend I said that in Brazillian Portuguese)
@wallhackio @cam yes ha ha ha yes
@wallhackio @cam Might be easier & cheaper to go to a zoo that has capybara...
