EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the breathtaking landscape of Chile, South America, in the year 1824, a pair of coypu, also known as nutria or river rats, can be found living in harmony with nature. The serene waterway, teeming with life, reflects the image of the majestic Andes Mountains in the background. The coypu, with their sleek, brown fur and rounded, flat tails, are expert swimmers and build intricate burrows along the riverbanks. The landscape is dominated by the towering carob acacia trees, their wooden trunks providing a stark contrast to the lush greenery of the foliage. These trees, native to the region, are an essential resource for the coypu, providing them with food and shelter. The coypu's diet consists mainly of aquatic vegetation, but they also feed on the bark, leaves, and fruits of the carob acacia trees. The coypu's peaceful existence is interrupted only by the occasional ploughing of the land, a sign of human presence. However, in this moment, the scene is untouched, and the only sounds are the gentle lapping of the water against the shore and the rustling of the leaves in the wind. The coypu, a rodent native to South America, were once hunted for their fur, which was highly valued in the 1820s. However, this photograph captures them in their natural habitat, a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world that exists beyond human intervention.
