A friend of mine just sent me this picture and said someone they knew just got a capybara. I informed them that that definitely isn't a capybara. Now neither of us know what it is. It kinda looks like it's in the uncanny valley of the rabbit species. Is it just a fucked up looking rabbit?

That's a Mara. They're the cutest things! And the little babies are even cuter!

Can you pet them?

Maras are pretty flighty, but if they're used to people, yeah
