Isle of Man Capybara Pups: A Super Overload of Cuteness
Capybara pups at Manx zoo draw record crowds. The whole segment, as it aired. The internet's moment, broken down frame by frame by people who should not be allowed near a telestrator. Licensed footage, credited.
What BBN said on air. Comedy, with fictional anchors.
Kenji MoonfieldCurraghs Wildlife Park on the Isle of Man says it just had its busiest October weekend ever, after eight capybara pups were born, and the BBC has the story.
Vera BullockEight pups. Born to two mothers, Agatha and Mirabell, within days of each other.
Kenji MoonfieldThe manager, Kathleen Graham, called it an overload of cuteness, then said a super overload of cuteness really. She upgraded it mid-sentence.
Vera BullockThat's a threat level and a compliment in one sentence.
Kenji MoonfieldQuick heads-up, this clip is from the archive, not the new Manx pups. Here's a pup wandering across the sand, and now the close-up on that face.
Vera BullockOh, that face. I'm staying neutral. Professionally. Run it back.
Kenji MoonfieldShe says even grown men were cooing. Ms. Graham laughed saying it.
Vera BullockViral Score, nine. One point for each pup, minus one for the one by the log who has Gerald's nerves.
