Aug. 6 (UPI) -- A video captured at a state legislative building in Brazil shows workers practicing their animal handling skills by ejecting some unusual trespassers: a pair of capybaras.
The video shows the two capybaras, the world's largest rodents, calmly wandering into the Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso in Cuiabá and exploring the reception area while deputies prepared for a vote elsewhere in the building.
The capybaras were prevented from getting further into the building by security turnstiles.
The footage shows employees working to guide the famously sociable animals out of the building, where they were joined by a third capybara.
Employees said capybaras are sometimes spotted in the area due to the building's proximity to the Parque das Águas, which has a native population of the animals.
Capybaras have previously been seen bathing in the fountain in front of the building and using nearby crosswalks.
There were no injuries or damage to the building resulting from the animals' July 30 visit.
