Alloparenting.

That’s the fancy, technical term for the old adage “It takes a village to raise a child.”

Capybara mothers practice alloparenting. They take turns caring for each other’s babies. For instance, this capy mom is watching over all the little ones as they graze together in Barigui Park.

The CapyTube Merch Store Proudly Presents:

Did You Know…

Diesel fuel and Diesel engines were invented by Rudolf Diesel.

Diesel was a German engineer whose mysterious disappearance sparked numerous conspiracies.

If you like Industrial Age science, or books about inventors, The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel, by Douglas Brunt, is an interesting read about Diesel and his inventions.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
