Capybaras are often called the world’s most laid-back animals. Known for their calm, friendly nature, they’re famous for getting along with just about everyone — from birds to cats to even crocodiles in the wild. Rebecca is no exception, happily accepting Baya’s affection.
As for howler monkeys, they’re one of the loudest animals on the planet, their calls carrying for miles through the forest. But Baya is showing she has a soft side too — proving that even the most vocal animals love a good snuggle.
