May 12th marked a special day for the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

Four healthy Capybara babies were born on that date, and they are sooooooo cute!!!

More good news is that the new capybara litter nearly doubles the existing capybara population at the Cleveland zoo from only five capybaras to now nine capybaras!!!

If you're not sure what a capybara is - it's the largest rodent in the world, and can grow up to four and half feet long!!

We wish all rodents looked like these magnificent creatures!!

Check out more amazing pictures of these gorgeous animals (below) !!!

We've never been jealous of the Capybara before, but - hey - there's a first time for everything !

We enjoyed watching the largest rodents in the world take a hot bath in a wooden tub almost as much as they seemed to enjoy their rub-a-dub scrub!

Move over, Kevin Costner!

There are some new stars of Water World, and they're WAYYYY cuter! Ha!

Check out the fun by watching the video (above) !!!

Now these are some big ol' cuties!

A trio of capybara babes, the world's largest rodent, are all smiles and playful at the UK's Chester Zoo.

The little ones, Sakai, Byron and Kosh, were born on Oct 5 to mum Lily and dad Mordon.

Native to South America, the littles can grow up to five feet long and weigh over 130 pounds!

Imagine if bunnies were that big! LOLz! Congrats to the zoo on their capybara babies!
