You can read all about the capybaras at Nagasaki Bio Park. Their lives are very interesting just like a human "soap opera"!
Book 2: "The Fascinating Lives and Relationships Of Capybaras In A Herd"
I write about the lives and relationships of a herd of capybaras who I came to know and love. Their lives are fascinating and often dramatic and intensely emotional, like a gripping human drama! Capybaras have very high emotional intelligence and their behaviors and emotions are often very similar to how a human would behave in the same situation. We are both mammals and emotions appeared early in mammalian evolution, so it makes sense that we would share similar emotions.
I find it interesting that the capybaras Hinase, leader of the herd, liked best, were also the capybaras I liked best. I found a great similarity between the capybaras' emotions and my own. I fell in love with Donguri with her patient, compassionate, empathetic personality. She and her family, Momiji Choco Donut and Aoba, were very intelligent and sensitive. They were all natural leaders. Hinase and daughter, Ryoko were very tough minded and strong emotionally. Hinase was an inspiration. Her strength of mind and willpower overcame her frailty and increasing weakness in old age. Breeding males, Toku, Yasushi and Kona all influenced the personalities and character of their offspring. Toku was a very kind, intelligent capybara. Yasushi loved to be petted and had the longest hair of any capybara I have met. Kona was bred to be responsive to humans and super responsive to being petted, his offspring have inherited these qualities while not quite understanding herd behaviour.
ミルクとプルーン。 カエデの赤ちゃん. I have never seen a capybara look as angry as Milk does in this fight with her brother, Prune. Milk had been in a bad mood all morning, earlier she fought with brother Syrup. About halfway through she seems to be dominating the fight but at the end she walks away giving the "appeasement" vocalisation. This is not the first time Milk and Prune have fought; when they were babies Milk very reluctantly gave in to Prune and looked extremely annoyed at having let him win the fight. Prune is the most adventurous but also the most aggressive of the three brothers with the biggest morillo. He has inherited his mother, Maple, and his grandfather, Yasushi's, cute short nose.
