Our latest video: Choco is at the bottom of the hierarchy which means he often doesnt get as much as he would like to eat and gets attacked and chased away by most of the other capybaras at feeding times. However Choco is very intelligent. He now spends most of the day on monkey island grazing and eating the monkeys food. He goes into the monkey house several times every day to steal the monkeys food or shelter from the rain and have a nap. Amazingly the capuchin monkeys never harass him even though he is stealing their food and they sometimes harass some of the other capybaras especially Momiji and the young ones. They seem to have completely accepted him, perhaps they like him. Choco is now noticeably larger than his twin brother Doughnut who has not taken up residence on monkey island and remains at the bottom of the hierarchy at feeding time. The cut on Chocos cheek was caused by another capybara, Ayu, not by the monkeys. Capuchin monkeys are the New World equivalent of chimpanzees, i.e. they are highly intelligent. Once or twice Choco has seemed to have come out of the monkey house in a hurry as if one of the monkeys had encouraged his exit. https://youtube/watch?v=erQ2wFPZDyU&list=UU6vvD9LkAvhQzItm1kCtCfg
