11. Ecuadorian Cloud Forest Margins

The margins of Ecuador's cloud forests provide unique habitats where capybaras have adapted to higher altitudes. These areas feature consistent rainfall and misty conditions, ensuring a constant water supply. Small streams and ponds scattered throughout the dense forest create an ideal environment for capybara groups. The diverse plant life offers excellent food sources, while the persistent cloud cover helps maintain comfortable temperatures. The landscape's natural vantage points and escape routes make it perfect for these social creatures.
