The great capybara caper: How two fugitive rodents eluded capture in a Toronto park for five weeks


Lovatt, the operator of a local natural history museum, quickly became the face of that group, which spent hours scouring High Park by night this month. They carried the rodents into the capybara pen, leaving the gate unlocked behind them, and prepared to usher another, older capybara out. As of Tuesday morning — when the second capybara was apprehended in the park — it is all over. TORONTO — At dawn on May 24, staff at the High Park Zoo drove down an asphalt path to unload their newest charges: Two young capybaras, one male and one female, from a breeder in Texas. It took five weeks, two types of cages and copious amounts of corn to bring the runaways back to the zoo.
