    At least in theory you could hug a one; they aren’t aggressive. You wouldn’t lose an ear. But tourists are loud so the 'baras feel like being hunted, and once you get close they run into the water. (It’s fun to watch this in parks.)

    And even if you do manage to get close… they’re wild animals, so full of ticks and fleas. It’s a bit unwise to pet them.

    Can you sit in an “Adirondack” style chair on a dock

    I’m not even sure if there are 'baras in the coast, since they’re a freshwater animal.

      Hm. I’ll have to re-think it.

      Tourist captured after leaping into Capybara enclosure, found with an unreal amount of bonkers weed. “I didn’t know they housed them with the small alligators!” he was heard to say while the police tried to restrain and remove his ample, pasty-white frame.

      I’ve got no good luck!
