In the early 2020s, capybaras became a growing figure of meme culture due to many factors, including the disturbances in Nordelta[54] which led to them being comically postulated as figures of class struggle. Also, a common meme format includes capybaras in various situations with the song "After Party" by Don Toliver,[56] leading to a tremendous growth in popularity.[57] Capybaras are also associated with the phrase "Ok I pull up", the opening lyric in Toliver's song.[58]
Fun Fact: Capybaras are rather vocal animals. They like to express themselves by purring, barking, cackling, whistling, squealing, whining, grunting and even teeth-chattering—depending on what they’re trying to communicate. Not only are there harmonic differences among social groups, but each sound a Capybara makes bears a significant meaning.5 Alerts from group members can be environmental cues, including as danger from predators and isolation of their young.
