New Capybara Enclosure

The Capybaras are now in residence (but were way up the back of the enclosure so cannot be seen).

The logs in the foreground turned out to be for covered shelters, as can be seen on the right-hand one.

There is a thread on the enclosure here: Wellington Zoo - New Capybara Enclosure
 
I looks like a nice exhibit. Given the semi-aquatic nature of this species, a pool might of been nice though (or is there one out of the picture?)
 
@Hipporex - it isn't obvious at all in this photo, but the pale grey stones forming a bank along the top of the viewing window is actually a raised pool. The surface of the pool appears to be level with the hillside behind. It isn't a very large water area though.
