God ran out of ideas and started combining bunnies with deer.

Oh man, that last pic is classic. The crossed paws just put it over the edge. Have to say though, my bun did occasionally disapprove harder than this–particularly when in the company of my parents’ golden retriever…

Katrina, I wondered the exact same thing. Looks like a baby Capi (bara). And Cavy sounds a lot like Capi in many langauges.

Ahhh, the Patagonian Cavy. I have enormously fond memories of these. Several years ago we went to a pet store and they had one for sale. I neglected to look at the sign (if there was one–it’s more of a “ask and we tell you” place) and a few months later I was driven nuts trying to figure out what the “dinosaur bunny” was. I don’t know why I settled on dinosaur. It was either its posture or just raw size.

I found out a few years later, entirely by coincidence, reading about unusual animals people keep as pets. I actually shrieked, “DINOBUNNY!” And I have always been fascinated by them.

It’s true. They can disapprove like nobody’s business.

This one is considerably cuter than the one they had at the pet store. That one was soaking up the attention with the best of ‘em, but he was uh. More charming than cute, to say the least. XD

Does this koalaby make any noises? Purring or anything-with whatever sound equipment it has-squeeeing perhaps? Snuffling? Teeth clicking? Ground stompling?

OK CO management, you have your friendly marching orders, please find us a short movie with a happy capybara. Thank you.
(Sheesh these people are getting pushy) and then Theo writes: [Getting?"] and then I write: “I was trying to be polite about it, just well, insistant.” And then Theo writes: “

Also known as a Mara – they’ve got a pair of them in London Zoo.No babies yet though….:-(

And yes, they are closely related to guinea pigs, and more distantly to the exceedingly disapproving Capybara.

Actually, google Terry’s name for verification of his non-paying-attention-to-appropriate posting history.

I like “Koalaby.” But I was thinking maybe this was the legendary esquilax? Or snipe? Or perhaps the dreaded Jabberwock?

Um…yeah…that last picture is a riot!
