🍊THE WINTER SOLSTICE🍃

Today is 'Tōji' (冬至), the Winter Solstice. On this day we traditionally enjoy 'yuzu-yu' (柚子湯), a bath steeped in yuzu🍊☺️♨️

So what's with all the capybara?

In 1982 a keeper at Izu Shoboten Zoo (伊豆シャボテン動物公園) in Shizuoka noticed the capybara would huddle in warm puddles, and was inspired to give them a yuzu bath...a tradition that has now spread to other zoos across Japan.
