OK, well in my last post I was getting ready for a mundane meeting about parasites on humans, when I get a message that somebody is bringing in two young Capybaras and asks "do we want to get some tissue samples from them for genetic work?" Well, I had to say yes. Here is a pic of one of the little guys. Capybaras grow up to be the world's largest rodent. There is a population in north Florida that is thriving after an accidental introduction. He was remarkably docile and cute as anything. Anyway, Capybara wrangling was way better than a meeting in my office. I love being a curator.
