Female capybara comes to Florida zoo as part of a breeding program to boost population

A female capybara has arrived at a Florida zoo as part of a breeding program to bolster the population of the large South American rodents.
Iyari, a 10-month-old capybara, went to the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society in May from the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. She's in a mixed-species habitat with a couple of Baird’s tapirs, which live in similar habitats in South America, while zoo workers slowly introduce her to the park's 2-year-old male capybara, Zeus.

Great idea. It's not as though we don't have enough invasive species in Florida. Will they eat the pythons?
