6. Brazilian Atlantic Forest Edges
The borders of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest offer a unique habitat where capybaras have evolved to live at the junction of forest and open space.These areas provide cover and foraging chances as their gradient from thick forest to grassland offers.While the woodland border offers necessary cover and escape paths, little streams and pools scattered around the region provide continuous access to water.The varied plant community of the habitat consists of grassland flora as well as forest plants, so providing a robust food supply all year round.The different topography and foliage density let capybaras change their behavior depending on predator presence and temperature.
