Called Momo Zoo, this capybara-specialised zoo is located within the Shinhwa Theme Park in Jeju Shinhwa World. Capybara lovers will be able to watch capybaras roaming freely in the zoo’s indoor and outdoor spaces, or swimming in the water. Visitors will also get the chance to get up close and personal with the gentle creatures with hands-on capybara feeding sessions.
