A capybara has been caught on camera getting a new hair-do - from a magpie at a zoo.
The eager bird was spotted by staff giving his furry friend a makeover at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol, England on Saturday, March 18.
The footage captured shows the magpie collecting some much-needed capybara fur as nest material, whilst the capybara enjoyed a good pampering and itching those hard-to-reach places.
The farm posted the adorable video in a tweet that read: "Apparently, getting pampered by a magpie is our capybara's favorite Saturday activity. We've never seen such a happy Capy!"
Rory Mizen, a spokesperson for Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, said: "Keepers at Noah’s Ark Zoo farm noticed an unlikely friendship form between a local Magpie and the zoo’s resident capybaras.
"This footage captured shows the magpie collecting some much-needed capybara fur as nest material, whilst the capybara enjoyed a good pampering and itching those hard-to-reach places.
"This video posted on the morning of Saturday 18th March 2023 has now gathered nearly 8 million views between the zoos social media channels. This has been the zoo’s biggest hit ever with people from all around the world commenting in multiple languages."
