Auckland Zoo have been flooded with suggestions from people who want to have the chance to name two male capybara pups. The pups were born on June 7 but remain nameless, so the zoo set up a competition for the public to help find suitable names. "We've definitely had over 200 entries so far, with some being really good, some not so good, and some ridiculous," Primate keeper Vanessa Johnson said. Some of those suggestions verging on the ridiculous side are Capy and Bara, Jono and Ben, Boris (Johnson) and Donald (Trump), and Nacho and Burrito. When thinking about names, primate team leader Amy Robbins said to "think about their personalities - they're feisty, full of life, have big personalities for their size and bear in mind their South American origin".
