The World's Most Relaxed Rodents - Capybaras
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2024
- The largest rodent in the world is a Capybara-and they are VERY cute. Native to South America, these semi-aquatic gentle giants are known for their peaceful, sociable personalities. But there’s something special about the Capybaras in Japan’s Izu Shaboten Zoo - here they live a pampered life, drawing crowds of people to see them.
Spending winter days relaxing in their personal onsen (hot bath), eating fruit they relish their time in the warm waters-an activity that has become a tradition in about 20 zoos across Japan since its accidental discovery in 1982. The Izu Shaboten Zoo, where we find ourselves in today’s Great Big Story, is particularly famous for this practice - sit back, relax and get cosy with these cute Capybaras.

Still not tired of capybara content in 2024.
same (you probably can’t tell)
The true RUclips meta
The capybaras are still pullin up today
Capybara and red pandas are straight clickbait for me.
@@beans00001nah man. Couldn’t tell at all
It's amazing how peaceful they act when you consider how many predators they have to face in the wild.
They been seen chilling next to gators, though
@@halincadenza7165 the gators either ate already or are not hungry. Jaguars and anacondas are a different story
If Capybara was a person, he would probably still be chill when there is a fire or earthquake incoming.
@@krungkronch1947they are bad parents. They don’t watch their young 😅😅😅😅😅
Could it because they might have a bite that can tear of a finger?
They are not animals, they are vibes, moods, and lifestyle, they are physical manifestations of relaxation .....
Yup, they are the embodiment of pure chill
True! Chill vibes always 🧘
Since it wasn't explained in the video, the reason why you always see citrus fruits (called yuzu) floating in the bath, is due to a belief in Japan that the oils and vitamin C in yuzu is good for your skin and circulation. So it's a tradition to throw a few yuzu in when you're soaking in an open-air bath like these capybara are doing!
Thank you for explaining !
Interesting yuzu fact :)
Japanese ppl don't usually put yuzu in the bath, though no one will be against it doing it on an ordinary day (since it has a wonderful smell) it's more of a special thing on the day of winter solstice. The tradition originated cuz the smell of Yuzu was believed to keep away demons. For the capybara bath, they're probably doing it since it adds some color and makes it even more relaxing to look at.
Oh really? Oh gotta try it soon.
GBS can dedicate their entire life to Japan and still won't run out of fascinating contents
We love this comment 😂 Thank you! 🫶❤️
@@GreatBigStoryYOOO YOU GUYS STILL HAVE THE SAME VOICE OVER LADY AS 5 YeEARS AGO (I think?) WHEN I USED TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS BACK THEN
@@casuals.3.19I believe the voice over lady is Beryl Shereshewsky, that now has her own youtube channel focus on foods.
Pandas: chaotic good
Capybaras: lawful good
Grizzly bears: Chaotic evil
Polar bears: Lawful evil
@@AaronGeo facts 😂
Beryl back with GBS is just as relaxing to me as the Capybara!!! ❤
Wait, she's back at GBS?!
@@pqlasmdhryeiw8 dont you hear her ? :D
I am. Actually not aware that GBS is back. I just learnt about it today.
Capybaras are a planetary treasure
i am a simple man. i see professionally shot capybara content, i hit like.
Thank you for coming.
The capybara open-air bath open until April 7, 2024, so please come and see agein it.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S THEM
Beryl is back on Great Big Story? I recognized her voice right away! Capybaras are so cute!
Those Capybara are the luckiest animals in the zoo. I envy them.
Utamaru definitely looks like that calm, collected dad who has a solution to all your teenage problems. Lovely creatures!
i love capybaras! i aspire to reach that level of chill and relaxation
Pfp checks out
Me every time I see Capybara related videos: "OK I pull up"
Hop out at the after party
I wish I could have this level of chill 😅
I think its just a universal mammal (and probably beyond) thing of "mmm hot water"
You have no idea how happy you just made me. Thank you Great Big Story for the great content! ❤
Masbro really loves the hot spring and the people. Really cute
As someone from South America I can agree they're adorable and having them around lakes over here is super fun. The sad part is that here in the south of the americas there's a risk they have a flea with them that could kill you if infected. So no petting Capys when you're visiting over here, zoos outside south america should be fine though
Capybara enjoying onsen. 🤣Now I have seen it all.
This is the same park they used in the anime: Yuru Camp (Laid Back Camp). Ever since I saw that episode I always wanted to visit this park.
Fellow Shimarin fans also here 😂
they do be chillin' 😊
a bucket list item 🫶
Capybaras: "We put our bottoms in this warm water. Now, it is ours." 😂
This is the cutest damn thing I've seen in a while. Fantastic stuff.
Ohh to be a cappybara in a hot, relaxing bath in Japan 🥰
I wish I can be like a capybara. Relaxed almost all the time :3
Then a big fat crocodile came and ate you. The End
I absolutely adore these creatures and would love to see them in the parks around where I live
In Japan, even capybaras start taking hot baths 😂
I will post here some flavor text from an mtg card called "Basking Capybara":
"Even our most learned philosophers can only hope to approach the inner serenity of the humble capybara"
I'm about to backpacking around Japan early January next year and this place will be on my travel bucket list
Oh I was lost in their warmth too, it is a beautiful addiction watching them🤗🥰
i connected with beniten on spiritual level, chilling in its own space
Spotted one of these for the first time ever while in a remote outdoor setting and it was the ONLY reason I felt the area I was in was safe enough from other wildlife predators! #TeamCapybara ⭐️
Capybara are one of my favorite animals. They're just so chill and relaxed.
Ah, my spirit animals 😂. One of the world's most amazing creatures. The personification of being perfectly friend-shaped.
I can not get over these guys 🤣🤣😭😭😭💀
My people 👐 😂
Its relaxing, calming and peaceful to watch Capybaras.
When the world needed this channel, it returned
Ok they pull up
That man has the best most fulfilling job in the world!!!😊😊😄
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know you used an interview soundbite twice since I don't know if it was intentional. The first time at 2:27 and the second time at 3:11
Awesome content as always! Thank you!
Never seen a capybara in the zoo! More used to seeing the wandering around the city, or by the beach. Either in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and in many Brazilian cities! 😅
OMG, if they had a hot spring where you can go in with the Capybaras, that would be an enormous hit
It might probably exist.
In fact, capybaras live in people's hearts.
Close your eyes and imagine an elegant capybara bathing in a hot spring.
I'm so glad this channel is back.
Capybaras are the physical embodiment of the phrase “this is fine”
Capybara are the most chilliest animals ever
Adorable ❤
Amazing video as always GBS!
So cute.
Imagine how many problems can be solved just by bringing a few capybaras around.
Thanks from coming back GBS!
BERYL!!! YAY, you are back here!!
I LOVE CAPYS
Finally, the best animal gets its own video!
Capybara and Beryl! 💓
They are darling- like giant gerbils!!
Hey @GreatBigStory I had a question for you guys...I'm a videographer for 3 years now and I'm really interested in getting into documentary and short-story work. How do you find the stories to share though? Thats the part I don't understand. Any tips on how to find good stories to share or good short-stories to produce?
I love capybaras. The biggest rodent in the world is the cutest rodent of all.
As a capybara I approve this
yeah, this is quite the great big story
Capybara vids are my favorites
OK I PULL UP
I love the cappy blappies
3.02 so funny 😂
Beryl you’re not fooling no one. It’s good to hear your voice.
I love how he knows a quality of each of them
I LOVE THEM
Los nipones hicieron populares al capibara,al picozapato ,.. ❤
See, guys? Masbro becoming RUclips's meta!
Ngl I can agree with these rodents in that I love a hot bath.
I am delighted to learn that capybaras have had hot tubs since before I was born 😊
I must go there before death reaches me
So they are native to South America and these are in Japan. What a trip for these capybaras 😅
Coconut Doggy!!!!
OK I PULL UP 🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️
heck yea!
Anyone who wanna visit there, I'd recommend taking public bath in Shizuoka as well. Shizuoka is at the foot of Mt Fuji, which is still alive.
This is the perfect video
they're soo cuteee hahaha
Great Big Story is back? Since when? Why am I only aware of it now? 😮😮
I wish I was a capybara. Not worrying about taxes, pension or any human things.
Just relaxing, enjoying reality and being alive
yuge is a mood
Nice,Masbro stuffs
I love capybaras...as carpincho gloves 🙂
I somehow like this animals. 🍊🍊🍊🥱🫢🤭😊
Yeah, they'd be chilling. ;-;
what can I say, I’m a fan.
if they were to stream this for 10 hours a day on twitch I bet they would made a lot of money I'd be watching it here and there for sure
The great production skills of Beryl Shereshewsky.
When they pull up at the after party:
OK I PULL UP🔥🔥
Had to pull up the vid soon as I saw
I wonder if the hot spring has a livestream? I'm in the USA, and I wouldn't mind seeing Japan's capybaras soaking 😁
oh, to be a capybara in japan
Great Title ❤
I wish someone would prepare warm bath for me every day and bring me food :)
nature's throw pillow
Pretty sure this was made for me
