Colombian woman assaulted by capybara

Description:

In Ciénaga, Colombia, a capybara assaulted a woman swimming in a lake. She waved a finger to fend off the animal, and the video shows it jumping onto her back. She was reportedly momentarily dragged underneath after the capybara bit her head. As a guy with a stick assisted her in returning to shore, her cries were heard. Despite their reputation for being placid, these enormous South American rodents are nonetheless wild and have the potential to attack if they feel threatened.
