Found a Geoglyph of a Capyvara Feeding on Grass

Posted by c tito young on 18 February 2021 in English. Last updated on 10 March 2021.

An etched geoglyph of the animal called a Capyvara (100m long x 80m wide) in an orientation of east facing west looks as if its eating from the ground. The animal, drawn anatomically correct has the side view unmistakably of the animal. From side view, two legs, head, one eye and body appears. The etching shows the animal while on all four legs, with its head to the ground, feeding. It is unclear what the animal is eating. There also seems little about what might be the reason for the artwork.
