4. Aquatic Friendships: Capybaras and Turtles



Capybaras have formed intriguing relationships with turtles in wetland habitats, often during their routine swimming and bathing sessions. These encounters frequently occur in shared basking areas, where both species coexist peacefully. Capybaras display remarkable awareness of their turtle companions, skillfully navigating around them while swimming or resting.
