Three Capybara Pups Born in Edinburgh Months After ‘Babybara’ Bru Shot to Fame
Keepers will check the pups in coming weeks to confirm their genders and choose names after the birth of Bru, Scotland’s first capybara in 18 years.
- On Wednesday, Edinburgh Zoo welcomed three capybara triplets born overnight to parents Luna and Rodney, with keepers reporting the pups are doing well and staying close to their mother.
- The arrival follows the birth of Bru, an internet sensation who was the first capybara born in Scotland in 18 years, making the triplets a rare and significant event.
- Darren McGarry, head of animal care, described the family's unique dynamics, stating "Cali rules the roost" while noting that Rodney is "a bit of a shy boy" despite their soap opera-like lives.
- Older sibling Bru is adjusting to no longer being the center of attention, with keepers describing him as "a little grumpy for now" but expecting him to bond with his new siblings.
- Keepers will conduct initial health checks in the coming weeks to determine the triplets' genders and select names for the three newborns.
