Capybara

Habitat:

This picture was taken at Tiputini Biodiversity Station,a research station on a tract of undisturbed lowland rainforest within the ~2.7-million ha Yasuní Biosphere Reserve, Ecuador. The station and nearby areas contain a variety of habitats including terra firme and várzea forest, palm swamps and other wetlands, as well as areas of natural succession that follow tree falls, wind throws, or other natural disturbances. Understory vegetation is typically fairly thick , so trails provide travel routes for many species.
