You ever wonder if some people are born alligators while others are born capybaras?

Also, how do capybaras deal with the anxiety of potentially being eaten by alligators?

They don't think about it, they just chill

If they are anything like guinea pigs they'll possess negative survival instincts.

"Is that a big cat trying to eat me, I'll just run over to say hello."

Well how the hell DO they survive then, and why haven't they gone extinct?

Like a lot of other rodents they just breed like crazy. That plus being very adaptable to human environments means they're doing fine for themselves.

I don't know...ever seen a video of them running when one raises an alarm? Fuckers go from chill to gone in a blink!

They don't have to deal with that anxiety. They're incredibly stupid. Also, they do get eaten by alligators, this one wasn't hungry.

please God, don't let me forget this quote:
