Capybara fans, listen up.

You'll now be able to spot the large rodent at a new exhibit at River Wonders.

The refreshed exhibit contains a female capybara. She made her debut in the exhibit on Jan. 22, and has yet to be named.

The capybara is almost four years old, and was previously part of the Amazon River Quest route.

At her new exhibit, which used to house the green anaconda, she will have access to the walk-through Amazonia Encounters habitat, so visitors can get an up close and personal experience with her.

Previously, guests could only meet capybaras during the Once Upon a River presentation and on the Amazon River Quest boat ride, for which guests pay an additional S$5.

Guests can continue to meet and greet Moe the nine-year-old capybara during the presentation, as well as say hi to another male capybara along the boat ride.

The boat ride will also give guests a glimpse of other animals like the Brazilian tapir, jaguar, and giant anteater.
