Capybaras have staged a coup of the Olympic golf course in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and it's probably best for everyone that we go with the flow on this one. Capybaras, the world's largest rodents, would look extremely cute with medals around their thick necks, just chilling around. Let's make this happen. And they're good for more than just positive vibes -- capybaras actually provide a service when they get the munchies. “They chew down on the grass at night,” Mark Johnson, director of international agronomy for the PGA Tour, told The National Post. “There are about 30-40 of them inside the course perimeter, but they live here and we play golf here, we co-exist.” Olympians Sergio Garcia of Spain and Bernd Wiesberger are seen here taking photos of the capybaras, because capybaras look very cool. Johnson also notes that owls have found a suitable nightlife spot in the Olympic golf course, saying, “I am not a biologist by any means but these owls routinely have excessive amounts of babies."
