​​​​Lost Paradises - South America and Caribbean

BRAZIL - Pantanal - Capybaras

​Native to South America, the capybara is the largest  rodent in the world and inhabits swamps, savannas and dense forests and lives near rivers.  It is a highly social species and usually lives in groups of 10–20 individuals.

The capybaras use the river beaches to dry their skin after swimming. They also find a nice and soft grass to feed themselves. Families of this mammal are often watched here.
