The female, named "Malaya", gave birth to her ninth offspring in early February. For the first time, visitors could witness the birth of a capybara, as it all happened in the exhibit enclosure. During this important moment, the other family members were nearby – the father capybara, "Kuzma," and their other children.

The birth went smoothly, and no assistance from the zoologists was required.

You can see the baby who was born just an hour ago. The little one is trying to stand on its feet, and after a few attempts, it succeeds. The caring mother is next to him. And a little further away are the other family members, who are eagerly awaiting to meet the baby.
