Hundreds Of Capybaras Now Rule A Neighborhood In Argentina: Funny Memes And Tweets

Capybaras are taking over the world! Well, sort of. A gated community in Argentina is struggling with a problem- tons of adorable capybaras are roaming around their neighborhood and causing trouble. Meanwhile, netizens on twitter have fallen in love with the epic capybaras, and are 100% team capybara. They're created funny memes and tweets making fun of the situation, and some of them are incredibly creative.

According to Live Science, "The residents of a gated community in Argentina are struggling to get along with some unruly new neighbors: hundreds of the world's largest rodents. The capybaras, also known as carpinchos, have been running rampant for weeks inside Nordelta, an affluent neighborhood north of Buenos Aires that is home to around 40,000 people. Local residents have reported that the robust rodents, which can reach over 4 feet (1.2 meters) long and weigh up to 174 pounds (79 kilograms), have been pooping in gardens, destroying flower beds, causing traffic accidents and allegedly biting pet dogs, although capybaras are not known to be aggressive toward humans or pets."

So first of all, this is a Capybara.

Capybaras are known for being cute, cuddly, and adorable, but they're also known for being the world's largest rodents. This makes them both absolutely awwdorable, and a bit of a force to be reckoned with. These rodents are also known as carpinchos in Argentina, what a cute name!

This entire video is honestly gold. The slow panning, the blooper style music. We feel a bit bad for the residents who have to deal with all the capybaras, but honestly it sounds like a really cute way to live. I mean who wouldn't want to spend all of their time with giant rodents?
