Capybaras are a rising trend in the last few years. There's a ton of fan pages with cute capybaras pictures and videos. You need to invest early.

Capybaras don't have shit on hyraxes. I'm trying to be an early adopter, but like all hot new products that seem to be out of stock everywhere.

They're disadvantaged in the cute-animal stakes by their name, I think. The name implies something large, dangerous, and possibly mythical; it really doesn't fit with "round fuzzy thing somewhat smaller than a cat".

Capybara are being artificially held down because there isn’t a confident and convenient emoji for them!
I suppose you could start a popular open source project and name it the word you want to become an emoji.
capybara and guinea pig are both far less popular than taco or emoji
interestingly, the spike of taco in google trends seems like it might be correlated to it's addition to emoji - that spike would be about a year after iOS got the Taco emoji.
