Capybara love story: Iyari and Zeus thrive at Palm Beach Zoo

We’ve been following the couple's love story for nearly two years, when Iyari first arrived at Palm Beach Zoo as part of a breeding program to bolster the population of the large South American rodents.

Zoo workers slowly introduced her to Zeus, which was already living at the park, and the pair hit it off.

To give them the best care, mom and dad will be enjoying their babymoon behind the scenes.
