TORONTO — The offspring of Toronto’s wandering capybaras now have names — Alex, Geddy and Neil, for members of the band, Rush.
The High Park Zoo says the “capybabies” were born in February to famed escape artists Bonnie and Clyde.
Coun. Sarah Doucette, whose ward includes High Park, says nearly 45,000 people voted in a contest held to determine the triplets’ names.
Runners-up included “Snap, Crackle and Pop”, and “Mocha, Chino and Latte.”
Doucette says the winning set of names received more than 30,000 votes.
Rush is a legendary Canadian rock band made up of singer Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer Neil Peart. Lee said Saturday he was thrilled the capybabies were named after the band.
