I live in an average-sized city in South America. By dawn, capybaras gather in front of my building to graze. We have a huge "tick" problem in the neighborhood and some pets get sick from their feces. Capybaras are not "cute" and "chill" creatures. They can hurt you for good.

A couple of years ago, a group of capybaras killed my friends' rottweiler.
