There's a profound lesson that the animal kingdom teaches us - the art of harmonious coexistence among different species…
It's a heartwarming story that unfolded at Malaysia's Zoo Negara, and it all revolves around a charismatic orange cat named Oyen.

For many Malaysians, the presence of Oyen may have gone unnoticed until recently. But this year, Zoo Negara's devoted staff decided to make Oyen's unique living arrangement official.
They added a sign with Oyen's name to the capybara enclosure, cementing the cat's place.
Their remarkable friendship didn't go unnoticed, and occasionally, the heartwarming interactions between Oyen and the capybaras were lovingly documented and shared with the world. One of these moments captured the essence of their extraordinary bond and was posted on Zoo Negara's official TikTok page, @znmzoonegara.
The video warmed the hearts of people all over Malaysia.
In this enchanting video, Oyen was spotted affectionately rubbing its face against one of the capybaras in the enclosure. The gentle giant of a rodent responded in kind, returning Oyen's affection with a gentle nuzzle.
The caption for this endearing TikTok video read, "Just an Oyen craving some love from a capybara." And in the comments section, Malaysians couldn't help but express their delight in the heartwarming friendship between Oyen and the capybaras. One user playfully noted, "Hmm, no wonder Oyen stays there; it already has its life partner by the looks of it."
But the most heartwarming aspect of this story lies in how Oyen ended up in the capybara enclosure, embracing a new family and forming unique bonds.
It all began when Oyen found its way to this sanctuary, where different species live in harmony, reminding us of the beauty of coexistence and the magic that can happen when love knows no boundaries.
