This Zoo Used Stuffed Capybaras In Their Restaurant



Social distancing might be a practice that will most likely be around for a long time. And let’s face it. This will be very difficult to implement in crowded places.

To make things easier for their patrons, the Izu Shaboten Zoo in Shizuoka, Japan, strategically placed stuffed capybaras in their restaurant to ensure that appropriate social distancing is maintained in the place.




...The Izu Zoo (we’ve been dying to write that) was closed as the pandemic swept Japan but recently re-opened on May 16. Several measures were put in place to unsure[sic] visitor safety, such as requiring masks, making hand sanitizer available, and of course using stuffed animal Capybaras to ensure enclosed spaces are never too full.

But why Capybara’s, you might wonder? The Izu Shabonten Zoo is actually a popular Capybara destination. It’s not only home to numerous Capybara-themed events but it’s also credited with inventing the Capybara hot bath.

This is cute and wholesome!
