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.

What’s funny is that “barato” means cheap in Spanish and it’s sometimes shorted to “bara” in some places. So a cheap copy.

That’s a Mara. They’re the cutest things! And the little babies are even cuter!
