I find capybaras to be underrated. Perhaps it’s because they’re so common in the places that they occur. Or maybe it’s because they are rodents. The world’s largest, in fact. And they seem to like mud. This guy was playing in the muddy waters of the Yacuma River in the Pampas region of Bolivia. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm (200mm) ISO 800, f/4.5 at 1/500th of a second.

Capybaras may be underrated, but to be sure, they play a vital role in their ecosystem, just like the muddy waters in which they reside.
No doubt Sue. Sort of the wildebeests of South America.
Hermosa carpincha! hembra yo creo que es!

I bet that one is “gamy”.
No doubt Robert, no doubt.
Cool shot. Looks like it’s getting a beauty treatment!
Ha. Not too dissimilar than some of those high end mud treatments I’ve seen.
