What’s cuter than a capybara baby? Three capybara babies! One year after lovey-dovey capy couple Augustus and Clementine welcomed their first baby, Satsuma, they’ve become proud parents to three bundles of joy - and Drusillas Park zookeepers couldn’t be happier.
The course of true love never did run smooth, and mum Clementine had spent 10 years waiting for her Mr Right, before meeting Augustus in 2021. He quickly swept Clementine off her webbed feet, and Keepers arranged a romantic Valentine’s meal for the lovestruck pair. The special date got the couple in the mood for love and Satsuma was born last June - the first capybara baby at the zoo in 11 years.
On 28th September, Satsuma was joined by three sweet siblings and the zoo’s capybara crew has grown to become a fabulous family of six, delighting keepers, who weren’t sure they’d ever hear the pitter-patter of tiny paws again, let alone welcome the cutest capy triplets!
