What do they feel like? Soft? Rough?

Coarse, kinda like brooms, but there’s still a huge rush of dopamine

Yeah, they're really a lot more coarse than you'd think. But their fur stands up when you scratch the right place, which is neat.

If you want soft, pet a river otter instead!

Where can I go to meet and pay a capybara please? And not a cafe but a sanctuary?

I took my daughter there for an overnight stay and then a private animal experience the next morning. It was amazingly good.
