A friend of mine just sent me this picture and said someone they knew just got a capybara. I informed them that that definitely isn’t a capybara. Now neither of us know what it is. It kinda looks like it’s in the uncanny valley of the rabbit species. Is it just a fucked up looking rabbit?

Yep. That looks like it. Also called a Cavy Mara so it just looks like a bad game of telephone happened with the name.

Sometimes I forget that wild Cavies are real.

And the thing itself looks like a game of telephone between a rabbit and a deer. Cute though. I wonder what they’re like as pets. Wikipedia says “near threatened.”
