This is largely dependent on the climate in which they naturally occur, characterized by transitional dry and wet seasons. They live near bodies of water and feel comfortable in swampy, marshy environments.
Evolution has equipped them with many anatomical adaptations, allowing them to function efficiently in different environments. The positioning of the eyes, ears, and nostrils high on the head allows them to be almost completely submerged while swimming, leaving them able to see and breathe freely. They have buoyant membranes that facilitate aquatic wandering, and they are also able to stand under the surface of the water for up to several minutes. Their fur dries quickly, and they move efficiently and quickly on land thanks to their sufficiently long limbs.
