The capybara Tohu, rescued from Russian shelling a month ago, was released into the open natural enclosure of the Kyiv Zoo for rehabilitation and socialization with other capybaras.

Capybara Toha, rescued a month ago  from the territory under Russian shelling, is being released into an open natural enclosure in  Kyiv Zoo. The animal has already undergone treatment and has a long way to go in its rehabilitation. UNN reports this with reference to KCSA.

"In Kyiv Zoo, the capybara Toha, rescued a month ago, is being released into an open natural enclosure. The animal has already undergone treatment and has a long way to go to rehabilitate and socialize with other capybaras," the statement reads.

It is noted that Toha can be seen at the end of the hoof row near the elephant house - in a green estate with live trees, bushes and flowers on the banks of a pool with a waterfall.

KyivZoo employees ask people to be quiet when meeting the capybara, so as not to frighten it, as its rehabilitation is ongoing.
