A juvenile Yellow-headed Caracara perches on the back of a resting capybara along the mangroves at Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on November 11, 2025. Common throughout Brazil's wetlands and urban parks, these adaptable raptors are often seen riding on large mammals such as capybaras or cattle, feeding on ticks and insects they uncover. The peaceful pairing highlights a moment of easy coexistence in the heart of the city's natural sanctuary. (Photo by Bob Karp/ZUMA Press Wire/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
