Pantanal Diorama for my Capybaras

With Tropical Storm Debby raging outside, I decided to get creative and build a beautiful Pantanal-inspired diorama for my capybaras Patrícia, Río, Ronaldo, and Antônia. The diorama features miniature foliage including palm trees and shrubbery from recycled miniature palm trees, a miniature orange tree and a plastic orange slice to represent how capybaras love to eat oranges, artificial water made from Elmer's clear-drying glue, and a sound system that plays a Pantanal soundtrack (the video from the soundtrack actually features real capybaras!). My capybaras are made by CollectA. Thoughts?

Images are not showing in the thread. They are attachments that my computer wants to download when I click on them. Were you not going to try Postimages or another hosting site (someone was asking about it recently; can't remember who).

I'm sorry, I did not use Postimages. I will look into it and try to reupload the images ASAP.

Thanks @anteatergirl2004 - I see you selected 'thumbnail for forums' in Postimages so I edited your post with 'hotlinks for forums' so the images show larger!

Thanks! They look great!

Thank you! I love my capybaras so much so I just had to give them a special home.

Very cool. If I had the time, space, and money, I would make dioramas for all my animal toys. Like a museum!

Or a zoo or aquarium! I designed my capybaras' habitat like that of a zoo, and even added a nameplate with a picture of a capybara, their name, and their species' common and scientific name.
