HELEN, Ga. - Rodents are generally unwelcome guests inside a café. But when that rodent is a big, friendly capybara — well, that’s a very different story!

This morning on Good Day Atlanta, we visited with some of the incredible animals (and humans!) at Capyfriends Cafe in Helen. Created through a partnership between two Good Day Atlanta favorites — Nacoochee Adventures and North Georgia Wildlife & Safari — the destination offers intimate and educational encounters with capybaras. And just in case you haven’t scrolled through Instagram or TikTok lately, capybaras are the world’s largest living rodents, found in the wild in South America. They’re herbivores, they’re very social, and they’re currently social media’s favorite animal!
