Baby Paca at the Safari Park

Meet Paisley, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's baby paca, an adorable rodent species from Central and South America. She and her mom, Pumpkin, along with the rest of the group can be found near the entrance at the Park.

I'm here instead of doing my homework, and yes I'm tearing up because I find them so cute

[@SuperPrincipemaya]

It's a gorgeous animal! Here in the state of Chiapas, Mexico we call it tepezcuintle.

My family went on vacation to Belize and we went on a jungle tour with a local. Afterwards, we ate lunch behind his shack and he showed us one of these little guys in a cage. He named it Stew and told us it was going to be his family's Sunday dinner. He was so proud of himself and this poor doe eyed tropical rabbit he had in the cage. We all left feeling horrible ( except my dad, who grew up on a cattle ranch.)

Why is no one talking about that this zoo is the location of Jared’s zoo video which was the first TH-cam video in 2005

[@xaviersawirjo7128]

hi what does baby paca eat

[@lefreeek]

They, just like guinea pigs, to whom they are quite closely related ( as well as capybaras, agoutis, maras, wild cavies & mokos ) can eat vegan from day one, besides mothers milk. As jungle animals they eat fresh fruit, leaves, grass, hay, straw, seeds & herbs.

[@misspinkpunkykat]

Yeah, I wish these zoo channels would also list the species' latin name.
