Description

042. ‘FEEL GOOD FACTOR’. Capybara. Rio Cuiaba, Matto Grosso, Brazil

The bird on his head presents no danger and is eating up the grubs. Capybaras are the biggest rodents in the world. Capybaras do not have a long life. Their life span should be between eight and ten years. But seldom do they reach that age. Four years is about the norm, because the animal has numerous predators, notably the jaguar, caiman, eagle and anaconda.
