Hi everyone! I’m looking for zoos or animal sanctuaries in California that allow visitors to pet or interact with capybaras.

I’m specifically in the Bay Area and the closest zoos to me are San Francisco Zoo, Oakland Zoo, and Happy Hollow in San Jose, but I haven’t been able to find out if they offer hands-on capybara experiences. If anyone has been to a zoo or animal park in California where you can pet, feed, or interact with capybaras, I’d love to hear about it!

Waiting for the lid still they forgot to fire the lid, and I put a mandarin on top... Can't wait 😁

A couple times now I've wanted to post some videos of capybaras, only to remember that video posts are disabled here. Can we get video functionality in the sub?:)

Additionally, this is the third time I've had to post this because of "lack of detail" so I'm writing this here to try to reach whatever the lower limit is for posts. I'm not sure what more info I could possibly include or why "question" tagged posts would get deleted like that.

Further, here are things I like about capybaras:

• Their cute noses
• Their cute eyes
• When they open their mouth and show their big teeth
• Baby capybaras
• All capybaras
• Capybaras with funny names

This was the best surprise for sister ever
