Ginger cat Oyen has been officially recognised as a member of the capybara exhibit at Zoo Negara.

This comes after a signboard was recently put up to announce that the cat has joined the capybara enclosure.

1. A cat named Oyen has been living at the capybara enclosure at Zoo Negara over the last few years, Bernama reports.

“When we first discovered him, we saw he was very friendly with the capybaras. He would eat with them,” senior zookeeper Mohd Taufik says.

He says the animals are monitored at all times to ensure they are healthy.

5. Rosly says Oyen’s presence has also made the capybara enclosure one of the more popular ones in the zoo.

He notes that the zoo is also thinking of adding Oyen to the capybara sign in front of the enclosure.
