Adorable capybara babies just born at California zoo. Watch as they follow mom around

Capybara babies were recently born at a California zoo, and they’re already playing and keeping up with their mom, video shows.

Capybara pups are precocial, meaning they’re more mature and already mobile when born, officials with the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance said in a July 25 news release. So they’re “already nursing and following mom,” officials said.

“Don’t let their little legs fool you, these little pups are already up and on the move, following mom and exploring their new surroundings,” officials said on a video posted to Facebook.

It’s mama capybara Rosalina’s second litter of pups, and the first for their dad, Bowie, officials said in the release.

They’ll grow up to be the largest rodents in the world, though you wouldn’t know it from their scientific name Hydrochoerus — meaning “water hog.” They are great swimmers, after all.

Capybaras are not pigs, but they are related to guinea pigs, as well as hamsters and mice, officials said.

Wild capybaras roam swampy, grassy regions that border rivers, ponds, streams and lakes in Central and South America, officials said.

Though not listed as an endangered species, capybaras are threatened by deforestation, habitat destruction and poaching, officials said.

The four capybara pups are at the zoo’s Elephant Odyssey — they share a habitat with Baird’s tapir — and might be hard to spot while they’re “out on habitat,” officials said.

Lucky visitors might still be able to catch a glimpse as they take a “cap-nap” during the day, officials said on Facebook.
