Capybara + Hummingbird

The still pond meets the hummingbird who never lands.

The capybara's legendary calm is genuinely soothing to the hummingbird — right up until the hummingbird zips off to seventeen other priorities and the capybara stops bothering to follow. These two can coexist peacefully, even warmly, but the hummingbird's restless intensity and the capybara's unhurried ease tend to talk past each other more than they connect. A decent friendship is possible if the hummingbird occasionally sits still; romance, however, is a recipe for one partner feeling smothered and the other feeling abandoned.
