Paradise Wildlife Park welcomes two capybara pups

The Hertfordshire park is celebrating the birth of these precious capybara babies to proud mum, Coroline.

A zoo spokesperson said: "They've already settled in and are showing off their playful personalities!"

The breath-taking moment of their arrival was caught on the zoo's CCTV in the early hours of November 27.

This semi-aquatic species, originating from South America and renowned as the world's largest rodent, typically thrives in lush, dense vegetation.

The pups are flourishing by the day, growing more robust and self-assured. Already seen exploring alongside their mother, they'll soon be darting around and enjoying playful swims in their spacious pool.

The latest arrivals are Coroline's second litter this year, after she gave birth to three pups back in June.Capybara pups born at Paradise Wildlife Park (Image: Paradise Wildlife Park)
