Melanie Typaldos owns Garibaldi the Capybara and spends 120 hours a week with him!
Not only does she have Gary, but she also has capybara stamps, capybara toys, capybara everything. Obvies, this woman is a tad bit OBSESSED with capybaras.
Even though capybaras are the largest rodents in the world, Gary is actually on the smaller side for his species.
Hard to believe…we know!
Check out the video (above) to see Gary and Melanie in action on My Crazy Obsession.
Officials in the Los Angeles town of Paso Robles will be setting up live traps for the world's large rodents. Capybaras aren't dangerous toward humans, but they are considered wild animals who can carry diseases.
Lt. Todd Tognazzini says:
"Like any wild animal, they’re going to defend themselves, so we wouldn’t want anybody to get close to it.
Somebody probably brought it in as a pet and they either got away or people couldn’t deal with it anymore."
The last capybara spotting was when a man saw the rodent while feeding his horses. The capybara ate some hay, then chased after his dog. He fired a shotgun at the animal to protect his dog and then called wildlife officials after it left the property. When wardens came out to his home, there were footprints at the scene, but no sight of the capybara.
We don't know what we'd do if we see one of these things go running by! They seem harmless, but it's probably for the best to get them under control before they do harm any house pets.
Back when Prince William was born, the tradition was to post a note announcing the birth on the front gates of Buckingham Palace!
But times have changed, and William and Kate Middleton's child will be announced a bit differently- via Twitter!
According to Now Magazine, the news of the royal baby's birth will be posted immediately to the Clarence House website, which will automatically tweet the story!
But the Palace wants everyone to know, they are NOT planning on bucking tradition. They officially stated:
