Capybara Love
Wednesday, March 7, 2007

One of Jasper's favorite animals at the National Zoo is the capybara. They currently reside in the Elephant House, so we visit them a lot. Jasper has been asking for some pictures of them, so I finally took some. For the uninitiated: The capybara is the largest rodent in the world, found in Central and South America, and can hold it's breath underwater for up to 5 minutes. They are going to be moving when they rebuild the Elephant House—I can only hope they stay somewhere near parking lot B, because I don't think we will be forgetting about them any time soon!
