Here’s another old picture I took back in 2021, right around the end of August.

With seasons reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, August is the last month of winter. Luckily, it was fairly warm that day. Warm enough for the capys to all unwind in their giant mud puddle.

An interesting little side note, the Capybaras make these mud wallows themselves. And, being covered in mud acts as something of a natural sunscreen / insect repellent.

Did You Know…

Artichokes.

That’s today’s fun fact. Thanks for reading and have a great day!!!!

I kid. The actual fun fact is this:

The edible part of an artichoke is actually a flower bud. Scottish readers may spit out their shortbread cookie at this next revelation, but artichokes are actually a type of thistle. And left to bloom, the artichoke bud blossoms into a vibrant blue-violet flower.
