I used to have a screensaver on my computer with lots of photos of capybaras. One night, though, after looking at it just before going to sleep, I had the most terrifying nightmare that I was trapped in a car with giant guinea pigs who were clawing and biting me. I have to only look at capybaras in the daytime now.

During the Capybara ritual, the Matis Indians create an atmosphere that is not only visually stimulating but auditory as well. They imitate the sounds of the capybara. In addition, they imitate the actions of this native Amazonian rodent by running and hopping as a capybara would do. Interestingly, only men and boys participate in this ceremony with women and girls being excluded.
