Aren't Zebra and Capybaras from different continents? I wonder where this photo was taken...

probably hard to take photos of young (!) capybaras outside a zoo... :/ I agree that this is probably a zoo photo.

No need for disappointment! It's still a nice photo, and zoos do important work.

Of course. I take lots of zoo photos myself, there is nothing wrong with it at all.
