Prague Zoo welcomes four new baby capybaras

Four baby capybaras have been born at Prague Zoo. Visitors can see them in the Water World and Monkey Islands section, where they arrived on September 18 to a female named Bára.

Capybaras are the world’s largest rodents and are known for their calm, friendly nature. Because they are in high demand among zoos, the young ones will eventually move to other institutions.

Prague Zoo last kept capybaras in 2013, but floods destroyed their enclosure and ended the breeding program. After a ten-year pause, the zoo reintroduced them in November 2023.
