Three females and one male settled in their new cozy home with a house, a green area and a swimming pool for recreation on the territory of Zoopark Burgas.

In order to be transported, the animals had to be at least six months old. Burgas Zoo is also preparing a contact area for capybaras, where visitors will be able to take pictures with them and feed them by hand. They are gentle and friendly. They can also communicate well with small children. Weighing between 35 and 65 kilograms, capybaras are the largest rodents in the world.
