Photographer’s Note

While having lunch at a restaurant by the Boa Vista Lake, two big animals ran by my table. At first I thought they were dogs, but in fact they were capybaras. I went after them and found around fifteen of them standing by the lake. The capybara, found in South America and Central America, is the biggest rodent on Earth. It is a relative of the rats, rabbits, and hamsters. Can you see the similarity?
