Andrey Talalaev created and edits Grumpy Capy. He is a builder and digital nomad who spends a lot of time in Latin America, where capybaras are not an internet mascot but a real South American animal with habitat, history, and local names like carpincho.

On the news desk he handles source checking: tracing a story back to the zoo, agency, or researcher that actually announced it rather than the outlet that rewrote it, and saying plainly what is still unconfirmed. Commentary is labelled as commentary and kept out of the reporting.
