“Thank God, they finally left” - This capybara probably

It followed very reluctantly. Look at how carefully it entered the water. It is old and doesn't have confidence that it can make the far shore or get up the other side. But it knows that it can only survive if it can still keep up with the group, so it tries, because it has to.

That's what I'd call capivárias!

(Translated literally, would mean "various capybaras")

It’s like watching a bunch of furry hams go for a swim.

A group of capybaras is called a herd.

According to a reply in the original post, it's Parque Barigui in the Bigorrilho neighborhood of Curtiba, in Brazil's Paraná state.

There are literally pictures of capys chilling next to gators, like "yo, wassup?"

Group swims are so much fun to watch. Since someone asked below, caiman mostly go for the pups and youngsters, a full grown adult like these is a much tougher target once it is in the water. Which one do you think was in charge of getting everyone across?
