Four-Month-Old Capybara Siblings Arrive at San Francisco Zoo

Two young capybara siblings were recently brought to the San Francisco Zoo from Sacramento, where they ve been adjusting to their new habitat, marking the first time the popular rodents have been at the zoo in nearly a decade.The two capybaras are settling into their new home at Puente al Sur, a mixed-species habitat with an outdoor pond that the female made a beeline for as soon as she was released into the enclosure, the San Francisco Zoo announced. The four-month-old siblings, a male and female, are still getting used to their new surroundings, but zoo members can get an exclusive sneak peek this Monday from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. The exhibit is tentatively scheduled to open to the public Tuesday, October 13, after the capybaras have had time to acclimate.The San Francisco Zoo received the pair from the Sacramento Zoo through the Association of Zoos Aquariums Capybara Species Survival Plan, which coordinates placements among participating institutions.San Francisco ZooThe habi
