Baby ‘bara boy, Bru: Edinburgh Zoo’s viral capybara baby named after public vote

Edinburgh Zoo’s adorable baby capybara has been named Bru after a public vote on social media. The name was chosen from four distinctly Scottish options provided by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), the wildlife conservation charity that runs Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park.

Fans of Bru catapulted the babybara to viral fame after noticing the youngster’s undeniable Scottish charm. The pup, whose birth was announced by the zoo last month, has captured the imagination of social media users around the world who have fallen for their clumsy antics.
