Let me introduce you to Joaquim or Joca (for close friends). The capybaras are one of the most “chill” animals on nature. But Joca wasn’t always like that.

He’s from Curitiba and worked as a train conductor back when we had passengers’ trains crossing the hills of southern Brazil! Because of his job, he always had to be very punctual and caring for his passengers’ wellbeing, which was never a problem since he’s a classic virgo.

He became a huge fan of the beautiful landscape that he used to see from the trains’ windows that he was in charge of for years. Today, he’s retired and enjoying the company of his son, playing some blues on his harmonica and having fun on Taim’s Reserve, where they all live.

Is little Joaquim going to follow the footsteps of his dad?
