 Rodent's Rear Offers Fine-Dining For Bug-Eating Bird
 Free-loaders; you either get worked up about them, or, as with this placid capybara, just ignore them.
 
 The patience of this cool-headed example of the world's largest rodent must be applauded as a cheeky bird was pecking at its BUM.
 
 It may look unsightly but the rodent's rear offered fine-dining for this bug-eating bird, a yellow-headed caracara.
 
 And the capybara didn't mind as the feathered feeder was removing pesky insects from its fur.
 
 Photographer Nate Chappell captured the hilarious scene in Argentina's Ibera Wetlands.
 
 He explains: "I photographed this yellow-headed caracara feeding from the rear end of this capybara, I believe the caracara was feeding on insects, possibly ticks.
 
 "The bird landed on the capy's back, plopped onto the ground and started looking for any insects in the rodent's fur.
 
 "At one point it used its talons to grab the capybara in order to get a better grip and feed longer from the rear.
 
 "Surprisingly, this didn't seem to bother the capy as it just went about its business feeding on the grass.
 
 "I think the capybara gets some benefit from the caracara removing unwanted insect pests from its body, so it doesn't mind what must be slightly painful when the caracara grabs it with its talons."
 
 Nate says this is an example of what biologists call symbiosis, a close association of two creatures of different species that live together, often to their mutual benefit.
