San Antonio, United States - January 17, 2025 San Antonio Zoo delighted fans with a humorous video of Tupi, their adorable baby capybara, being woken up in a most unusual way – by a bird standing on his head and flapping its wings. Born on December 3, Tupi has quickly become a favorite at the zoo, stealing hearts as the first capybara born there since 2000. The zoo’s social media post described the moment as “a bit of a rude awakening” for the tiny newcomer. Native to South America, capybaras are the world’s largest rodents, known for their social nature and love of water. Tupi’s arrival is a milestone for the zoo, where he’s already charming visitors and living up to the playful reputation of his species.
