🔥Everland capybara triplets meet the public, and their parents are literally named Plump and Chunky

Everland just announced capybara triplets 🥹 They were born on September 28, each about 1kg, and they're two weeks into life looking like tiny loaves of bread with ears.

Now the part I can't get over. The parents are a same-age couple born in 2024, the dad is 도톰 (Dotom) and the mom is 두툼 (Dutum). Both words basically mean "plump" or "nicely thick", like how you'd describe a good pancake or a cozy blanket. So two chubby-named capybaras had three tiny babies, and now Everland is running a naming contest for them. The bar has been set and it is round.

Korean news is calling capybaras "친화력 갑" (top-tier at getting along with anyone) and "동물계 핵인싸", which is like the absolute social butterfly of the animal world, because of all those videos of them chilling with ducks, turtles and monkeys. Everland's capybaras were already famous for soaking in warm water like they're at a spa, so these babies were born into celebrity. They're on view from October 15 at Ppuppa Town, the baby animal zone, together with mom and dad, and the park says it'll adjust viewing times depending on how the little ones are doing. My next Seoul trip was going to be all cafes in Seongsu, but apparently it's a Yongin day now. If the contest lets foreigners vote, I'm pushing for Hotteok, Bingsu and Mochi and I will not be taking feedback.

Danmuji for the smallest one is honestly so right 😂

my in-laws took us to Everland last year and the capybara line was longer than the T Express line. good luck to anyone going this weekend

Whatever the rules end up being, I'd still submit something. Babies that small need a strong name to grow into.

7Soomin2026.10.14

capybara line beating T Express is the most Everland sentence possible. also nobody's going on the ride, they're all going to see a loaf

7Soomin2026.10.14

Bun, Toast and Loaf is hard to beat, even with Danmuji in the running.

PLUMP AND CHUNKY 😭😭 the babies never stood a chance, they're gonna be loaves forever ✨

Hotteok, Bingsu and Mochi is strong but I'm going full kimbap roll energy: Gimbap, Danmuji, Eomuk. Feed them names they can grow into.

Dotom and Dutum are going on the list of names I'll accidentally give a pet. Hotteok for the smallest, no notes

world's largest rodent named after pancake thickness. korea's naming department doesn't miss

7paperlantern2026.10.14

Two parents named Plump and Chunky, and the triplets get a public vote on their names. Those babies have no say in anything.

Bun, Toast and Loaf. Voting closed, I'm calling it.

Bun, Toast and Loaf is a bakery. Fair, they're the right shape.

8Taeho2026.10.14

Plump and Chunky as parents is lovely, but I'm lukewarm on public naming votes. Someone votes for a joke name and the animal has it for life.

7Soomin2026.10.14

A joke name is the best case, honestly. Telling people your capybara is called Danmuji for life is a good life.

7Junseo2026.10.14

zoo naming votes usually end with the funniest option winning, not the cutest. betting on a snack

6moss.and.rain2026.10.14

Betting on a snack too. 'Loaf' is a snack with extra steps.

8Dabin2026.10.14

DOTOM AND DUTUM i cannot. those babies aren't ready for the name pressure. vote Loaf, i will not be taking questions
