Скачать или смотреть Capybara Socialization is Complicated

Another lil picture into how complex the social dynamic is between capybaras. They are certainly social animals, and Pumpkin and Cheesecake enjoy being in each other’s company (finally) but that doesn’t mean everything is peaceful all the time!

Like lots of other social animals, capybaras determine a bit of a social hierarchy within their group, and that doesn’t always involve peace and harmony.

Introducing new individuals into a herd is quite difficult and takes lots of time, because capybara herds are very territorial towards capybaras that aren’t part of their herd.

Pumpkin still makes sure Cheese knows she’s the queen, but these two have come quite a long way from where they started!
