Now that is a face that only a mother could love! What a fierce looking animal. Great capture of his mood. Love the eyes too.

Well, beauty, of course, is in the eye of the beholder. Nice sharp focus although I would wish for for more light around the eye and mouth. Good shot. Cheers, JR.

Sorry think the capybaras are cuter, we have those at Adelaide Zoo, haven't seen one of these they are interesting looking animals. Good closeup with sharp focus.

Comment from soulfeeder
Thanks for making me laugh. I thought, at first you're joking Mara. Superb focus and angle, showing this strange creature. It looks like a hog and a bear. I think, it is a bit overlit, but can easily fix, with a decrease in brightness, or add a tad of shadow. Overall, a great subject, and stil well-captured.
