I first read that as "he lives near a zoo..", and it made me wonder if it was his choice, to be closer to the animals.

I went to a feeding in a room a lot like this in StAugustine. I don't think that clip is necessary, they were babies like this and were very careful to take even tiny pieces of cabbage without getting their teeth on you.

If you're running a place like this, you're likely to want to reduce your liability risk as much as possible, I imagine. Doubly so in as litigious a country as the USA.

Yeah, it is probably smart.

My partner and I hand-fed three huge adult Capys a couple years ago, they were extremely chill and gentle. I loved them. Then I got to just sit and chill with/pet them.

The binturon was much more scary, we didn’t get to be in the room with an adult. We DID get to be in a room with two baby bearcats, which then proceeded to crawl all over and made us both cry due to how cute and curious they were. I loved them soooo much.

Sounds like a great experience. I do plan on finding a place to feed full size Capys or just go back to the place we went to before once they grow up.

Maybe to prevent germs spreading to the capybara?
