A safari park’s only pair of Capybaras have become a family and welcomed two new pups.
Longleat, in Wiltshire, said the newborn pups and their mother Mildred, are settling in a purpose-built nursery area with a private pool at the safari park.
Capybaras are the largest species of rodent and are semi-aquatic, meaning they live partly on land and partly in water.
A Longleat spokesperson said it is “early days” to determine the sex of the pups, and they are yet to be named.
The pups were born weighing 1kg each, and when fully grown Capaybaras can typically reach between 35kg and 66kg.
