The largest rodent in the world is a Capybara-and they are VERY cute. Native to South America, these semi-aquatic gentle giants are known for their peaceful, sociable personalities. But there’s something special about the Capybaras in Japan’s Izu Shaboten Zoo - here they live a pampered life, drawing crowds of people to see them.
Spending winter days relaxing in their personal onsen (hot bath), eating fruit they relish their time in the warm waters-an activity that has become a tradition in about 20 zoos across Japan since its accidental discovery in 1982. The Izu Shaboten Zoo, where we find ourselves in today’s Great Big Story, is particularly famous for this practice - sit back, relax and get cosy with these cute Capybaras.

@fireaza 4 месяца назад

Since it wasn't explained in the video, the reason why you always see citrus fruits (called yuzu) floating in the bath, is due to a belief in Japan that the oils and vitamin C in yuzu is good for your skin and circulation. So it's a tradition to throw a few yuzu in when you're soaking in an open-air bath like these capybara are doing!

@SpringNotes 4 месяца назад

Thank you for explaining !

@disa.v2365 3 месяца назад

Interesting yuzu fact :)

@schlagsahne394 3 месяца назад

Japanese ppl don't usually put yuzu in the bath, though no one will be against it doing it on an ordinary day (since it has a wonderful smell) it's more of a special thing on the day of winter solstice. The tradition originated cuz the smell of Yuzu was believed to keep away demons. For the capybara bath, they're probably doing it since it adds some color and makes it even more relaxing to look at.

As someone from South America I can agree they're adorable and having them around lakes over here is super fun. The sad part is that here in the south of the americas there's a risk they have a flea with them that could kill you if infected. So no petting Capys when you're visiting over here, zoos outside south america should be fine though
