Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)

In Pantanal some groups of capybaras are almost tame, and this one was no exception, as it seemingly regarded my passing as the river itself.
This is not the case when a jaguar is nearby, as this is the favourite prey.

In Bolivia they were much more wary of humans, as they are commonly hunted by humans there.
