I can only see one spotting with capybaras; just to let you know.
Great spotting Mati! Carpinchos are called capybara's in English. I believe the scientific name is "Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris". Maybe you can change that in the common name and scientific name. I think you could also solve the duplicate picture thing you mentioned...Greetings
Exellent mati, I love Carpincho
These photos are in your other spotting, so could you please combine them and take out the duplicates? Thanks for sharing this with us!
