## Summary

Edinburgh Zoo has named its newborn capybara triplets Tattie, Tunnock and Toddy after a public vote, choosing names inspired by Scottish food and drink. The names add a local touch to the latest arrivals and follow the viral attention given to their older brother, Bru.

The pups were born overnight on 28 October to Luna and Rodney. Zoo vets confirmed last week that there are two boys, Tunnock and Toddy, and one girl, Tattie; they were weighed and microchipped. The public also considered names based on Scottish islands, geography, the sitcom Still Game and space, while Bru was born in May and was Scotland’s first capybara born in 18 years.
