NOAH’S Ark Zoo Farm in North Somerset has recently welcomed three new capybaras to the park.

These three capybaras arrived at the zoo and conservation charity from Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park on Wednesday, August 28.

Emma Ogborne, leader of the zoo’s west section, said: "We're all very excited to welcome this new trio of capybaras. They arrived last Wednesday and are settling in really well so far.

“They are staying together in their little group, and slowly starting to explore which is great to see. We've already spotted them swimming, too. If you come to the zoo over the next few weeks, come by and try and spot them to say hello."

“We’re asking for help to name one of the capybaras on our social media, so if anyone has any suggestions, we’re all ears.”

Capybaras are the world's largest rodents and are native to South America. They are highly social animals, often found living in groups near bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and marshes. The three arrived at Noah’s Ark and were immediately testing the water.

Visitors to Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm can now enjoy watching these charming animals up close and learning more about their behaviours and lifestyle.
