Snake river?

Sounds like a fun place to wade around looking for Capybaras!

On Friday, yours truly took a short train ride out of Sao Paulo and up to the neighboring city of “Mogi das Cruzes” to eat Japanese food and look for capys.

I spotted these two gentle grazers sauntering around a large wetland area.

Hope you enjoy them!

Did You Know…

More people of Japanese descent live in Brazil than in any country outside Japan.

The large Japanese cultural influence is also why Brazil traditionally excels at martial arts like Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (which is heavily influenced by Judo), and even Sumo wrestling!

Thanks for reading and have an awesome day!
