Everland, under the Resort Division of Samsung C&T Corporation, announced that baby capybara triplets, considered among the most docile animals in the world, were recently born.
On the 14th, Everland revealed that healthy capybara triplets were born on the 28th of last month to "Dottom" (male) and "Dutun" (female), a pair of capybaras born in the same year, 2024. The babies, who weighed approximately 1 kilogram at birth, are currently growing rapidly under the careful care of Everland's specialized veterinary team and keepers, nursing on their mother's milk two weeks after birth.
Capybaras, which inhabit rivers and wetlands in South America, are the largest living rodents, with an average lifespan of about 10 years. Their gestation period is approximately four to five months, and they give birth to multiple offspring at once. Newborns are born in a relatively developed state, covered in fur, with open eyes, and able to walk immediately. Known as "healing animals" for their uniquely relaxed expressions and behavior, capybaras get along easily with other animals regardless of species, earning them great popularity online with nicknames such as "the ultimate social butterfly" and "the core member of the animal world."
With the birth of these capybara triplets, Everland Zoo has welcomed a double celebration following a series of baby animal births. In recent months, Everland has continued its success in natural breeding of giant pandas, the first in Korea, successfully welcoming its fourth baby panda in June. In August, the zoo also unveiled "Raon," a baby lion born at Safari World after an eight-year gap, for the first time to the public, winning the hearts of visitors.
The capybara triplets, who went on their first outing with their parents, can be met in person at Everland's Ppuppi Town starting from the 15th. Everland plans to flexibly adjust the timing and location of their public appearances while closely monitoring the babies' health status and adaptation process.
In addition, various customer participation programs will be held online and offline, including a naming contest that reflects the individual personalities of the triplets.
