“This is the second litter for mom and dad, Poppy and Rio,” the zoo said on Facebook.
The pups were born in October and are named Russet, Tator Tot, Spud, and Chip Ali.
“Chip Ali is named after our giraffe conservation partner, Dr. Ali, who recently visited us and helped with our capybara neonatal exam,” the zoo said.
