This book will be a joy for anyone who loves capybaras and wants to discover more about them. Capybaras have high emotional intelligenge, this is what makes them so captivatingMy knowledge comes from 12 years spent in the company of capybaras (spending all day, every day for 6 – 8 months a year), observing capybaras intently and learning about themIt has much more information than any other book about capybaras, with a huge number of photos. I give the titles of my YouTube videos which illustrate the scenes and capybara behaviour I write aboutI write about capybaras I know: pet capybaras, capybaras rescued as pups in South America, the herd at Nagasaki Bio Park, their relationships, behaviours and the strategies capybaras use to get what they wantMy observations go beyond any research paper I have read on this species. (for the record, “Animal Personality” is a new field of scientific research)I also give information on how to look after a capybara, health issues, treatments and how to create a safe environmentNobody else has written about capybaras with as much insight, understanding, knowledge and humourAn award-winning author, Alex Kartashov, who writes about capybaras and has a Ph.D. in Biology wrote: "A real encyclopedia of capybaras' lives, written with unique and unsurpassable knowledge and love. There is no other book about a non-– domestic species written with such a deep knowledge and understanding of an animal. She has learned more about these beautiful, intelligent and friendly animals than any human. If you love capybaras (like me) this book is an absolute must for you"A scientist wrote: "I think your book about capybaras has an important feature which makes it different from all other books about these animals. You are the most mindful and observant person writing about capybaras. I would say that your observations have a great scientific value. And, at the same time, you relate to your capybara friends very personally. Thus, your book will appeal to readers who are interested in personal and popular stories about capybaras, which are also scientifically sound.”This tribute came from Tim Andrews who has followed my posts and videos: "No one has done more than LizDonguri Capaldi Capybara to champion the cause of capybaras online, and to fight back against the myths that cause them to be mistreated. Her writings and YouTube videos exploring their characters, their intelligence, and just how much we can learn from them are truly legendary. Liz herself though is also truly inspirational for just how much she has dedicated herself to championing their cause and their ideas. So she is today's Awesome Person of The Day"Another capybara aficionado, whose father was Agricultural Minister in Uruguay, wrote of Tim Andrews tribute:"I can't imagine a more justified honour than this. Since a long time ago you have dedicated yourself to the study and understanding of capybaras in every possible way. Day after day. With love, method and seriousness. I admire you. I also envy your perseverance"Another wrote: "I guess you were a capybara in your previous life, you understand almost everything about them".One person in South America who rescued a newborn capybara pup whose mother was killed by predators describes her capybara, now 7 years old: "Ramos has had a huge impact on me. I see him as godlike. Capybaras seem to know so much more than we know. Capybaras feel things we are completely unaware of. They sense things before they happen. For me Ramos is a superior being." Ramos lives with dogs, cats and rescued tapirs, peccaries, sheep, pigs and cows. But her capybara stands apart as a very special being.Many people believe that I know more about capybaras than anyone.I wrote my book to share my passion for capybaras and to inform people about this captivating species.
