The World of XPILAR - capybara

The capybara is the largest rodent in the world. They’re the preferred prey of jaguars and anacondas and are found throughout most of South America, with the exception of Chile. When I was at Las Marias, I spent much time photographing and filming them. Sitting on the grass in a group of about twenty animals, they surrounded me, moving around, alternating between resting, eating, and swimming.
