Meet the latest animal additions to Jersey Zoo...

Following the arrival of a new gorilla, Jersey Zoo has announced the birth of a pair of baby capybaras.

The pups were born to parents Tayto and Tango last Wednesday (10 June).

We are yet to find out the sex of the 'babybaras', and they have not yet been given names.

The zoo says they have been leaving the family to it for now, but will provide more details when the time is right.

It is a busy time for keepers at the wildlife park in Trinity, as they are settling new gorilla Afia into her surroundings.

The 10 year old moved to the island from Bristol last week, becoming the first gorilla to join the troop in 15 years.
