🇧🇷 Videira, Santa Catarina, Brazil

In Videira, an inland town in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, a capybara appeared on June 21 on Rua Saul Brandalise, in the town centre. It ran past startled passers-by and shopkeepers, made its way into a computer shop, and eventually left on its own. Video of the scene spread on social media. The state military fire brigade asked residents to stay calm and let such animals return to the wild by themselves as long as they are not aggressive, not injured, and not in immediate danger. Emergency calls, it advised, should be limited to animals that are injured, trapped, or aggressive. No one was hurt and nothing was damaged. Capybaras commonly live near rivers and green areas, and sometimes cross built-up areas in search of food and water. The local outlet Portal RBV reported it on June 21.
