What about the R.O.U.S.s?

Yes, they do exist! Rodents of Unusual Size, a.k.a.Capybara can be found at Sea World. We had the unique opportunity to have a close encounter with these interesting animals. We were looking for the armadillo at Animal Connections when a zookeeper approached us and asked if we'd like to help her feed one of the animals. Of course! We learned that Capybaras are a little skiddish around new people so we had to be quiet, calm, and not make any sudden movements. The kids fed the Capybaras, Rust and Buttercup, romaine lettuce.
