    Are they soft? Do they make cute noises? Would love to pet one if I could. Looks like this guy really liked the attention.

      They are actually bristly. Apparently they purr and make sounds similar to a guinea pig according to their handler, but the only noise we heard was the goose complaining that he wasn’t getting fed. They loved being fed romaine lettuce and enjoyed chin scratches as well.

        Guinea pigs can properly yell when they want to. If capybara are anything like them, I imagine that they are deafening.
