Before the arrival of full-scale winter, at the zoo in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, a warm "Yuzuyu" was presented to capybaras, who are not good at cold weather.

Capybara is the world's largest group of mice that live mainly in South America, and six of them are bred at "Ishikawa Zoo" in Nomi City.



At the zoo, a dedicated open-air bath is set up every year at this time of year so that capybaras, who are not good at cold weather, can survive the harsh winter. ..



Capybara was relaxing in the cold rain, soaking in the "Yuzu-yu", diving in the bathtub, and hitting the hot water, making her feel good.



Shogo Satomi, a zookeeper at Ishikawa Zoo, who is in charge of capybara breeding, said, "Last year, the park was closed due to the influence of the new corona, and we couldn't open the capybara to be soaked in hot water. I want it. "



The capybara open-air bath will continue until early April next year.
