Jimmy's Farm has announced the arrival of four adorable new Capybara pups the size of large guinea pigs at the wildlife park.

The Wherstead attraction, owned by celebrity TV presenter Jimmy Doherty, has welcomed four "small, fluffy and utterly adorable" baby Capybaras.

Park director Stevie Sheppard said: "Capybaras have definitely piqued interest with our visitors and are really popular on social media - people can't get enough of them!

"We're delighted to have welcomed this group of pups and with our four females, we will hopefully have more born soon."

The internet-famous animals originate from South America and are the world's largest rodents.

Jimmy's Farm started housing capybaras in 2018 when they took on three from Tropical Wings Zoo when it closed down.

The pups aren't effective swimmers at first, so will stay on land hiding in bushy cover, but the semi-aquatic animals are adapted for life underwater with features such as webbed feet.

The wildlife park is celebrating the King's Coronation this weekend by hosting a Royal Rare Breeds Weekend.
