🦫 Tupi
Capybara · San Antonio Zoo, Texas
Lives in Wetland Walk
First capybara born at San Antonio Zoo since 2000. His slow-motion ear wiggles while deadpan-munching grass carried the great capybara wave of 2025. His unofficial coin literally forced the zoo to start accepting crypto.
What they do
Deadpan grass-munching while his ears flutter like wings.
Zen chewing machine. Pure 'ok I pull up' energy.
