This animal looks like it would be pulling up at the after party
okay i pull up🤨
In a rari?
Lmaoo
fun fact: they are basically able to pull up and hop out at the afterparty
Oh, a capybara video that doesn’t get sidetracked by the fluff. Nice.
Capybaras are one of the chillest animals.
They're very common in my country and a fun occurrence: they're sometimes seen in cities with the group waiting on the sidewalk for the street sign to close before they cross the street.
Well except during breeding season
Wait no way, these coconut doggies can actually cross the road unlike dumbass deer?
@@TarbosaurusBaatar I mean I guess
i can finally understand the capybara because of this video, Thank you for only stating facts
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thumbnail: I eat my own poop
My dog: omygosh that so relatable
And the worlds most chill animal medal goes to this thing
Litteraly me after seeing the title and thumbnail: *OK I PULL UP*
People eat capybaras!?!?!?! How could some one kill these cutest giant rodents 😭
The thumbnail radiates pure sigma energy
Ok i pull up
OK I PULL UP
Okay I pull up
I love capybara
Whoa, I didn't expect them to be 4 feet long. S'pretty big.
Thank you for this
Glad you enjoyed it!
That day the capybaras mastered water bending
Awesome video! The capybara's that you showed in the video are very cute!😊
Completely agreed! Glad you enjoyed it!
"Which is grosser? Eating poop, or eating the poop-eater?" What a stupid question. Pigs eat shit and rotting corpses. So what's grosser, eating bacon or eating a rotting corpse?
I would agree they're both pretty gross, but I don't eat meat 😅

“So, which is worse, eating poop, or eating the poop eater?” I could have gone my entire f**king life without knowing that.☹️
Don’t say it don’t say it don’t say iiit….

my favorite animal
Animals were classified completely differently before Carl Linneaus established the modern classification system. Bats were considered birds, whales were considered fish, etc. It is not wrong, it is just a different criteria of classifying.
Do Panther please please
Hm, now I understand why my guinea pig would eat his own poop
Ok I pull up
Hey can i put in a request? What animal i would like to learn about is... italian greyound or a whippet it would be intesting. Does it have to br wild? Comment back and tell me. Love ur vids!
We specifically focus on wild animals on this show. Appreciate the support, though! 😀💜
@@AnimalFactFiles oh thank you for letting me know can't wait to keep hearing more of your videos. ( as its christmas soon you could do a fact file about reindeer)!!! 😀
@@trissgridley554 Love this idea!!
I hope they life longer like 26 years
As far as I understand, they are known to live longer in captivity (though I'm not sure how long exactly)
Eating their own poop doesn't make them less lovable! =D

Appreciate the added facts in text, but... Jesus, I can't comprehend the audio AND the text separately so quickly. I either miss out on what's being said or I don't finish reading. At LEAST make the text relevant to the facts being spoken
This has been fixed in our newer episodes. We encourage you to check them out! Thanks for watching!
@@AnimalFactFiles just watched the latest video about False Killer Whales and I'm officially convinced! Looking forward to seeing the next video :)
this is the worst transgression by the church and i will never forgive them for eating these sweet children
