Zoo in Sussex welcomes baby capybara for first time in over 10 years
A zoo in East Sussex has welcomed its first baby capybara in over a decade.
The adorable new arrival comes as a result of a romantic dinner that zookeepers arranged for its parents - and famously fussy mother.
Parents Clementine and Augustus had a rocky road to romance and staff at Drusillas Park were unsure whether they would ever mate together.
