A popular animal has been gaining attention online, and now zoos are taking notice. The capybara, often referred to as the chillest animal on the internet, has become a breakout star. Its rise to fame can be attributed to its presence on social media platforms, particularly with catchy sounds on TikTok.

As a result, zoos across the country are offering meet-and-greets with capybaras. Further details about this trend can be found through national news sources, including a report from National Correspondent Debra Alfarone visiting NOVA Wild in Virginia.
