Four baby capybaras were born at Prague Zoo on Sunday morning, the zoo's director Miroslav Bobek told the Czech News Agency. However, one of them, which the parents left in the inner part of the enclosure while going outside with the other three, is unlikely to survive.
The capybara, native to South America, is the largest living rodent on Earth. Prague Zoo acquired the parents of the new litter of capybara pups last autumn, the female from Germany and the male from Denmark. Prior to that, there hadn't been any capybaras in the zoo since the 2013 floods, but the zoo decided to start keeping them again due to their immense popularity.
