The votes are in! Edinburgh Zoo names viral capybara triplets

Posted 9 Nov 2026

Edinburgh Zoo has named its capybara triplets after three beloved Scottish delicacies: Tattie, Tunnock and Toddy. The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) revealed the names after totting up votes cast by the public on social media.

Tattie, Tunnock and Toddy triumphed over fierce competition from rival trio names including suggestions inspired by the Scottish Isles and the iconic sitcom Still Game. The wildlife conservation charity launched the poll last week following the pups' first health check during which they were sexed as two boys and a girl.
