8. Uruguayan Riparian Zones
Along Uruguay’s rivers, the riparian zones offer special environments combining water availability with rich vegetation.These sections have slow slopes that lead to water bodies, so providing ideal capybaras’ entrance and exit places.The environment consists of several plant groups that vary depending on distance from the water, thereby offering different feeding sites.While the proximity to water guarantees simple escape routes, the combination of woody plants and grasslands provides great concealment and foraging choices.The yearly variations in water levels provide fresh feeding areas all year long and assist to preserve the ecological variety of the ecosystem.
