This is one Bruno we have to talk about.
TheHouston Zoohas named its two new Capybara pups Bruno and Pepa after the famousEncantocharacters.
According to the zoo’s release, the babies were born to first-time mom, Squirt, and dad, Rio, on April 11. The duo is the zoo’s third capybara litter in the last 10 years.
Shortly after birth, Bruno and Pepa quickly started eating solids and have taken on a semi-aquatic lifestyle which is common for the species.

Capybaras have webbed feet which help them swim and walk on soft and muddy ground.
They can even stay underwater for an estimated five minutes. To keep water out of their ears, the animals can pull them close to their heads when swimming.
Capybaras are the world’s largest rodents that can weigh up to 150 pounds
