  "textContent": "Russian zoos have encountered a shortage of capybaras due to the animal's rapidly growing popularity, according to RIA Novosti, which cited Sergey Pisarev, a member of the presidium of the Union of Zoos and Aquariums of Russia.\nPisarev explained that many zoos across the country began seeking capybaras for their collections once the species turned into a widespread trend. However, significantly increasing the number of newborn animals remains difficult.\nRussia has only a small number of facilities capable of breeding capybaras, making it impossible to meet the sudden surge in demand.",
