Four capybara cubs born on Monday receive their first routine check-ups at San Diego zoo on Wednesday. As well as being weighed and examined, a sample of their hair is also taken to help determine their sex. This is the sixth litter of cubs born to a capybara named Buttercup. At just three days old, the cubs already swim and walk on their own
