  this litter of capybara pups were born last month and are enjoying their new surroundings.
  
  the largest of the rodent species they have shorter front than back legs and have 4 toes on each of the front legs but only 3 on the back.
  
  their feet are slightly webbed helping them to stay underwater for 5 minutes.

  Ah now...they're cuddly little fellas. People will want to take them home, so best that the zoo keeps an eye on them.

  Well some might, I prefer something more cuddly.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  i thought they would be appealling all round jan, never heard of the little devils before today.
  
  i bet they will be a star attraction there.
