4. Colombian Marshlands
Colombia's marshlands feature a unique ecological blend of vast grasslands and permanent water basins. These areas have a complex network of interconnected pools and waterways, providing an ideal habitat for capybara social groups. The region's diverse vegetation offers a year-round food supply, including aquatic plants and terrestrial grasses. Small islands and elevated sections within the wetlands provide safe resting and nesting sites. The constant availability of water ensures capybaras can quickly escape predators and regulate their body temperature, while the surrounding greenery offers excellent hiding spots for young capybaras.
