Edinburgh Zoo’s new capybaras go for a swim

Edinburgh Zoo’s new capybaras, named Cali and Luna, have been exploring their new home and enjoying time in their pool.

The two girls were named by one of the wildlife conservation charity’s Patrons and the animal keepers who care for the species.

Capybaras, which are the largest rodents in the world, have quickly become a favourite among animal lovers worldwide. Visitors can now see the young pair exploring their specially designed habitat, which mimics the capybaras' natural environment with plenty of water, grass, and places to hide.
