EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating scene unfolds in this photograph as a group of Capybaras, Hydrochoerus hydrochoerus, gracefully swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Cuiaba River in Mato Grosso Do Sul State, Brazil. The idyllic setting of the Pantanal wetlands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provides the perfect backdrop for these large, herbivorous rodents to thrive in their natural habitat. Capybaras are the world's largest rodents, and they are well-adapted to aquatic life. Their semi-aquatic lifestyle allows them to grow up to 4 feet long and weigh up to 150 pounds. In this image, we see them swimming in a horizontal position, their streamlined bodies slicing through the water with ease. Their large, webbed feet propel them effortlessly through the water, while their long, flat tails act as rudders, helping them navigate the currents. The Capybaras' heads are just visible above the waterline, their eyes alert and curious as they scan their surroundings. Their selective feeding habits enable them to graze on a variety of vegetation, including grasses, aquatic plants, and fruits. This tranquil scene is a testament to the peaceful coexistence of wildlife and their natural environment in the Pantanal, a true travel destination in Latin America. Sergio Pitamitz, a renowned photographer, captured this moment of tranquility and growth in the wild. The photograph invites us to appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature, and to reflect on the importance of preserving these precious ecosystems for future generations. The Capybaras' serene presence in the Cuiaba River is a reminder of the harmony that exists between wildlife and their environment, and the importance of protecting it.
