The humans moved into the capybara’s habitat, not the other way around.

it was a mistake to frame the rodent influx as an invasion. “It’s the other way round: Nordelta invaded the ecosystem of the carpinchos,”

Do they produce milk, I’m thinking a new type of cheese is what this world needs.

I apologize to all members of the rodent community for my thoughtless defamatory remarks.

  2. Is their milk palatable to people?
  3. Will people really care about #2 or just drink it to look cool?
