A capybara sits square on under a Santa hat whose pompom hangs down one side, a small potted Christmas tree with a star beside it. It is drawn as the real animal rather than a cartoon, so the coat is textured all over and that is where the time goes: short strokes in the direction the hair lies, lighter on the muzzle and the belly. Capybaras are the animal children ask for by name this year and almost nothing out there puts one in a Santa hat. From six. Another calm animal: Christmas Polar Bear and Igloo.
