Watch: Capybara feeding experience draws visitors from across Ireland to Co Down aquarium

Employees at Exploris Aquarium have said visitors have been travelling from across Ireland for the chance to feed capybaras, after the Co Down attraction reopened with a new hands-on animal experience.

The aquarium recently introduced a series of guided visitor experience days, including a 30-minute ‘Capybara Lunch’ that allows guests to prepare and hand-feed food to resident siblings Jack and Jill, under the supervision of its animal care team.
