These Pet Parents Show How to Get a Capybara Out of Your Home, and It's Too Funny
While we don't know how many homeowners have had to manage getting a pair of capybaras out of their home, this animal lover is showing us exactly how to do so. Dark Wings Wildlife isn't your typical household. It's a small ambassador animal program in Florida that helps teach the public more about misunderstood species. One of those just happens to be the capybara.
Although many people have probably never run into a capybara, this organization deals with them on a day-to-day basis, and we can definitely say they're a blast to watch. In this case, the capybaras were inside the home to socialize, and now it's time for them to go back outside.

Many of us haven't had to deal with getting capybaras out of our homes, but at least this Florida-based organization gave us the ultimate tutorial on the off chance that we need to in the future.
After spending some time indoors socializing with her animals, this animal lover guided them back outside to their space. Starting with opening the door, the process then involves politely asking them to exit the home-and that's it. Apparently, capybaras are incredible house guests with great manners.

Slowly waddling out of the home, these two capybaras head back outside to enjoy the rest of their day. In the caption, the animal lover explains, "Even though Pumpkin and Cheesecake, our capybaras, live outside-they sometimes ask to come in the house to socialize. One question we get when we share videos of them coming in to enjoy a little relaxing on the couch, is 'how do you get them back outside?' The answer is pretty simple, we just open the door and walk them out! If they don't just walk right out, it's pretty easy to just herd them over to the door, as you can see in this clip."
Although we wish all of our pets were this easy with orders, we do appreciate their politeness.
"You got very polite and well behaved capys," commented one viewer.
Another user joked, "Step 3: Let out all of the AC while they ponder whether they're actually going to leave."
To sum up our thoughts, another commenter added, "They are ridiculously cool."
While Capybaras might be the largest living rodent around, we can definitely say they're more like our pets than anything else.
