This past weekend, in an effort to dispel years of general ignorance, I asked an older woman to explain what a facial was, and she managed to come up with an explanation. Later that evening, I found out she didn't know about capybaras, and I happily told her about them.

As such, a poll.

I truly have no idea. Possibly facials first? But I can't pinpoint the first time I heard of or saw a capybara. I may have been a child? But maybe not.

I have no idea which knowledge came first.

There's a capybara in the children's book Hooway for Wodney the Wat. (Or whatever the exact title is.)

I think I knew about facials first, but I was gladder to know of the existence of capybaras!

I know OF facials but I'm still not really sure what distinguishes A Facial from just, like, washing your face really wall.

Capybaras, on the other hand, are the best, and I know many facts about them.
