Syrup Has Broken a Bone in His Foot and His 2 Front Incisors

- Poor Syrup. He broke a bone in his foot last October. Then 3 days ago he broke his 2 upper front incisors when he was trying to fight with Ora, the breeding male who is in a separate enclosure, through the bars of his fence. Ryosuke also broke his incisors in this way a year ago.

Syrup is a very special capybara, I'm sorry to see him suffer this way. From a pup he has seemed fearless and adventuresome, sometimes at his own expense. I hope he is able to eat and recover. Capybaras, with exception aren't going to sit still for veterinary care. Does the vet have an x-ray and do they have a capy splint that Syrup won't be able to chew off. I know you will keep an eye on him and make sure he eats. They should make the openings smaller on that enclose, that or maybe a solid transparent wall down at capy level and fence above. Thanks
Thank you very much for your very good suggestions.And your concern for syrup. He broke his teeth the day before we arrived.But now they are growing back.He is not so distressed. He
Seems to be coping well with his painful foot. He is still very much part of the herd. And even challenged his old adversary prune At dinner time, which amazed me! The keepers. Give him and Donut extra food so They are
Doing the best they can. And I'm trying to find out what other zoos might do for a capybara with a broken bone in his foot.
@@CapybaraWorld That is great, they are very resilient creatures. You may be interested in an article in the Journal Nature, it's discussed in the Guardian and NPR, it's about Elephants that use names. They have a sound that is unique to each elephant, and other elephants mimic that sound to call them. Amazing story but all I could think about was capybaras, they call each other in a similar way. Hinase and Momiji were the clearest example that came to mind. Anyway food for thought, tell Donut I said hi. Thanks for listening
Are you on messenger? We have so little time in the evenings when I am in Japan that it would be easier to send my replies to your very interesting comments via messenger. If you are on Facebook you can reach me on messenger via my Facebook name: "LizDonguri Capaldi Capybara"
Thank you very much for the information about elephants using the names. I did see that. And I am so pleased that having read about elephants "using names" you immediately thought about capybaras. From my observations and from what my friends who live with Romeo and Tuff'n said, about these 2 calling each other using different sounds, I believe it is quite likely that capybaras also communicate with different sounds to identify different capybaras. So much of their communication is ultrasonic and I don't believe this has been studied at all. As you say Hinase and Momiji had a very distinctive way of calling to each other. I'm glad there are a few people like you who are genuinely interested in capybaras.

Hi Richard. I wish someone would do the research which has been done on other species like pigs and elephants, on capybaras including their auditory range. I believe their sense of smell is the most important sense they use to navigate their world. I often think that when I am with capybaras I am surrounded by communications which often I may not be aware of and which I don't understand. It is as if a whole other world is taking place around me which I may not be aware. It's very possible that they have senses which we do not share. I'm very reluctant to say they are not equal to us as I am not too impressed with the majority of humans! And not many of us can understand theoretical physics or create computers. I completely agree with what you say and how understanding another's species deepens my understanding of the world. Take care yourself and thank you for your good wishes to Marc and me.

Capybara World I was just talking to my sister and I was explaining that an animal with the auditory range of capybaras, will develop advanced intelligence. Just because we don't understand them, it's not hard to see the herd behavior is coordinated. They all understand the actions called out by the leader, or even the individual in the herd. It's quite amazing, but they are speaking in a language that they understand. Maybe not equal with humans but they do demonstrate reasoning ability. Take Romeo sharing a piece of his snack with Tuff'n. Tuff'n might not have understood the exercise but Romeo had no problem with the concept and the language being spoken by Marvin. That was a great exercise. Capybaras are interesting and understanding another species helps me understand the world more in general. Take care, say hi to Marc, and it's Richard.

Capybara World I hope maybe you get a documentary done , it's quite ambitious but you have a phenomenal volume of work. You can open people's eyes to how the capybaras live through the lives of individual capybaras. Following them and knowing their name, being able to identify them in the group. Only then can you begin to understand their situation. I love the Japanese adoption of capybaras as an iconic animal. I laugh and am entertained by their videos, the soundtrack and the graphics are entertaining but limit the educational value. Be encouraged
Thank you very much for your good wishes for the documentary. I do have so much footage of Hinase, both of her in her prime and in her last months. I find it profoundly moving and inspirational her determination to continue to live. I also find it heartbreaking how determined she was to climb that Mossy Hill to be with her daughter, Ryoko. Ryoko had already passed away in tragic circumstances which I have written about elsewhere. It would obviously be an arthouse movie and when I finish it I would like to enter it at an appropriate film festival. I had a place at NYU film school, one of the 2 best world, when I was at NYU and I so regret not taking up the place because I decided to stay in England. I often wish, that among the people who love capybaras, there was a filmmaker, a vet and a billionaire! You are absolutely right in what you say. I get frustrated at the way Japanese people view capybaras and other animals. If I don't reply to your comments for some time it is simply because we never have any time in the evening.
Can they do anything to fix his broken foot like a cast.
It Seems not given that this happened About 8 months ago. I spoke to a zoo. Keeper from San Diego zoo and asked what they would do and she said they had a team of vets who would have operated but Syrup would have to be taken out of the herd to recover. Based on my experience at the bio park, I do not believe syrup could have gone back into the herd so it might be better for syrup to stay in the herd and limp. He is still part of the herd. He can do things in the water and he makes the best of his pain and even fights with Ora Through the fence.
😢😢😢 poor, did you with a vet? I wish will be ok. Sorry for Syrup. Need vet cares. I hope so.
I was not there at the time, but I am sure their vet looked at it and Syrup seems to be coping and still part of the herd and still being aggressive when he wants to be.
@@CapybaraWorld I hope complete recovery for dear Syrup, I hope so. Thanks for cares him.
@@ManuelArismendi Thank you for your good wishes.
He seems to be coping very well Which is good.
