Choco is many people's favourite capybara at Nagasaki Bio Park. He is quite fearless, highly intelligent and very inventive. For a variety of reasons Choco is often attacked by some of the other capybaras. His inventive ways have made him a partial outsider in the Bio Park herd. This doesn't seem to faze him and he can out run his attackers although he has many scars from their bites. He is always coming up with new strategies to solve his problems and ensure he gets enough to eat. He will blatantly steal bamboo from under the noses of the Bio Park capybara keepers.
When he was younger and smaller Choco used to go into the monkey's house and helped himself to the monkey's breakfast. Surprisingly they tolerated this and accepted Choco whereas the monkeys would chase away any other capybara who tried to enter their house. Choco often used to have his afternoon naps inside the monkey house, out of the sun or taking shelter from the heavy rain. I believe the reason the capuchin monkeys tolerated him is that Choco is completely calm and fearless and never reacts to their taunts or aggressive behaviour. The monkeys seem to enjoy taunting those capybaras who get most upset and had the strongest reactions - just like humans enjoy taunting someone who they know will be upset.
Here is a blog about Choco; he is such a character
