Raccoons

Always seen in comic book!
Baby raccoon was just born!
Since this baby was born just a week ago,
we are only able to see their fun face through a monitor screen.






Raccoons

Although they can be only seen from the monitor screen, it still attracts lot of people come to take a look of them.
The level of loving and caring animals is just the same all over the world.




Animal Kingdom of Waterside

Animals are feeling free to move around the open-wide environment!
The most attractive ones are penguins!





Capybara in the Forest

Living in South America,
Capybara is the largest rodent animals.
They have no tails, use both feet to move in the water.
Just the same as what has written on the dictionary, nothing interesting!
But when you see them in real, you will feel the same as me too!

Absolutely cute!

Everyone, come on to take a look of capybara!!


I am capybara.
Hahaha
Extremely cute!!

Though they walk very slowly on the ground, they are like flying-fish in the water!


Foot bath

Here we are in Nasu Animals Kingdom, seeing capybaras while enjoying foot bath at the same time.
Of course, we are not on the same bath with capybaras.






A beautiful turn brings together with a perfect performance.


Oh! No! Are you drowned? Are you okay?


Want to hug the capybaras!



Baby capybara

We can feed them!
The body was just born a week ago!
