Abstract

The young semi-confined capibaras behavior was studied from 27th August to 24th September, in 2001, in Floriano - Paraná State, Brazil. A group of nine capibaras was placed in confinement in a picket to have dips during all the experience, while another group of animals had no access to such dips. Weather conditions were registered every hour. There was no difference regarding the animals’ behavior during the treatment, which suggests the possibility of pickets with no pools for grown-up semi-confined capibaras. When there is no shadow against sun irradiation, the ‘pool’ has great importance for the relief of caloric stress. The feeding places, which were arranged linearly, caused great stress on the animals’ handling. This work was based on research with animals in their natural habitat due to the scarcity of research concerning the breeding of Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris
