Hmmm…is this like a wild pig? I’ve not heard of a capybera…
Junes last blog post..Photo Hunt – Metal
Gosh, you have big hamsters in Florida!
wrens last blog post..Of course I looked for birds while I was there
I need to know what this animal is! I am hoping it’s not a big rat!
Shelleys last blog post..So many nuts, so little time
Klaus: That South American mouse can get really big. I saw a show on a Capybara on a nature channel and a Anaconda ate it.
Fishing Guys last blog post..Views of the Cuyahoga River
A very nice Capybara and very well photographed! They are such cool animals!
Marys last blog post..Watery Wednesday……Hovey Lake, again
now no one commented on the shadow of the fern on the furry critters back…makes it look like he/she has a pattern in his/her fur. great capture of that
thanks for sharing.
Erins last blog post..my world-the taubman museum of art-roanoke, virignia
They are not native to SA Klaus but I have seen them in our local zoo. They seems like such a lazy animal, mostly just laying around.
SAPhotographss last blog post..King Cricket
I take it from the other comments that is is a caypbara. I’ve never heard of or seen one, at least not that I recall. Nice shot of it. It looks like it is taking in the shade.
2sweetnsaxys last blog post..Watery Wednesday #12
The leaf pattern on his back is funny. But it’s not an animal I’d like to pet. Looks like really coarse hair.
OK OK, he IS a bit cute.
Dinas last blog post..My thanks to you, blogger-friends
I LOVE the leaf shadow on his back!! and I think he’s kinda cute!!
Kerris last blog post..Nature Shape
Beautiful capivara shot.
Luiz Ramoss last blog post..Christmas World
World’s largest rodent, huh? Well, maybe its mother thinks its cute, but it’s about the homeliest thing I’ve ever seen.
Oh my! Interesting-looking animal.

Pazs last blog post..The San Remo and a Book (Jane in Winter)
That’s a massive fella and you captured it very well Klaus
Thomass last blog post..Birding in India – Changeable Hawk Eagle – Dedicated to "The Fishing Guy"
I just looked at this again and noticed the cool shadow on its back of the leaf! You just have to keep looking sometimes to not miss anything.
Marys last blog post..Robins, Downys, Red-Bellied Woodpeckers….
I thought at first it was a striped wild boar, but it’s a capybara, like Mary says. The leaf shadow is perfect.
Readerwils last blog post..Sunset on the Nile for Skywatch.
love the shadow on its body
