Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)

by Terry Costales

Everyone's favorite rodent, the Capybara! I have wanted to see one in the wild since I was 10 years old and first read about them in a library book. I saw a large family group of about 5 adults and many young ones. Looking like guinea pigs on steroids they still managed to be adorable.

Another capybara from the same family group as yesterday's posting. The staff from the Camp put out piles of leaves near the shore of a lake on their property. This tempted the capybaras to come close enough to be seen from the little boats we were in.

3-Toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus)

(77 views)
by Terry Costales

I know this is a male 3-toed sloth because I also got some photos of his back which had the distinctive male marking. We were very lucky on this day and saw several sloths fairly close up and most were actually moving. By contrast, in Costa Rica we saw a few sloths but each one looked like a large ball of moss.
