Drivers stopped to let the animals cross safely — a scene that melted hearts across social media.
A heartwarming moment was captured this week in the city of Tubarão, in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. A group of capybaras — made up of adults and several young ones — calmly crossed José Acácio Moreira Avenue, one of the city’s main roads, creating what many called “the cutest traffic jam in the world.”
Motorists halted their vehicles to allow the animals to pass safely as they walked in a neat line to the other side of the street. The video quickly went viral on social media, receiving thousands of comments and shares from viewers touched by the adorable scene.
According to local residents, it is common to see groups of capybaras near the Tubarão River, where many of these semi-aquatic rodents live. Although traffic was briefly interrupted, there were no incidents — only smiles and applause from drivers and pedestrians who witnessed the charming moment.
“One kind of traffic jam no one minds getting stuck in,” joked one user.
