good to know

what is a capybara cafe?

a capybara cafe is an animal cafe built around capybaras, the world's largest rodent, which you can feed and sit near in a controlled enclosure. they took off in bangkok and taipei from 2023 and usually share the space with meerkats and guinea pigs.

are capybaras friendly to pet?

capybaras are famously calm and tolerant, which is why they suit cafes, but they are still semi-wild. the better venues run short, supervised feeding windows rather than constant handling, and give the animals water pools and rest areas.
