Repeated intro
Hey everyone, Aditia here, the Community Manager at Runaway Play! Recently our Producer Yuko was telling me about how Capybara have… different toes? Did you know about this? I knew the footprints in our game reflected a Capybara’s actual footprint, but I’d never really thought about the ins and outs of their toes and how they walk..
Let me hand it over to Jonas, our Nature Researcher and Capybara expert at Runaway to chat more about them, as this topic has garnered interest from a streamer of the game.
Hi everyone! I’m Jonas and it’s my pleasure to share just a few more facts I found while researching Capybara:
Capybara have 4 toes in front, and 3 in the back. I couldn’t figure out why exactly, but I did learn that guinea pigs are their close relatives, and they also have four in front and three in back!
The webbing between their toes helps them swim, but also spreads their weight over mud. This lets them run faster when the ground is slick or especially squishy.
Capybara don’t have backwards knees! The first joint up from their toes is an ankle, which also means… Capybara walk on their tippy toes like ballerinas! A longer foot gives extra spring, and a lot of other animals walk on their tippy toes too, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses.
And on that note, I hope you all have dancing ballerina Capybara dreams.
