'Don't worry, be capy'. These words were said by the first capybara, Cadam, and are words that every capybara lives by to this day. It may seem like a simple statement to the hooman eye, but to a capybara, it is way more than that, it is a creed that shapes their every decision. To understand this incredibly zen way of life we must take a look at what 'capy' means.
In most circles, capy, like coconut doggo is just a nickname for capybara, but in capybara society, there's is more to it than that. One trip to the Fur Baby Museum, and you will see for yourself that the word 'capy' not only means capybara physically but also in a spiritual and emotional sense. So, for a capybara, 'Don't worry, be capy' means to be one with itself, on all levels. I'm Caprato Baraton and thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Not all capybara choose to live by the creed, choosing to emulate hoomans. One such capy is Sir Higglebottom the Third, who chose to leave his herd and join the court of Queen Victoria as a financial adviser.
The best-known way to stay true to the creed is for a capy to immerse themselves in water, preferably in a bath of some sort. Once the capy has been in the water long enough to feel as if they are the water, they can reach true capyness.
