NOA capybara, known as a 'river pig' in Norway, has become one of the most popular animals at Dyreparken after going viral online in 2023 due to a popular TikTok song. The animal, which is the world's largest rodent, was previously relatively unknown to visitors but has now attracted significant attention, especially among children and young people. The increased popularity has led to a surge in demand for capybara-themed merchandise, including toys and figurines, with toy stores reporting a noticeable trend. Despite the growing interest, the capybaras at the zoo remain calm and unfazed by the attention, with the park organizing small group meetings to accommodate eager visitors.
