What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA capybara that escaped from a British zoo in March has finally been photographed, by cameras the search team set up in October, UPI reports.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSeven months. She's been out there since March, and the first picture is a trail camera.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHer name is Samba. She broke out of her enclosure at Marwell Zoo less than a day after arriving from Suffolk.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLess than a day. She hadn't even unpacked.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe search has used thermal drones, sniffer dogs and camera traps. The camera traps worked, and she's still out there.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe zoo's chief executive says capybaras can run about twenty miles an hour and stay underwater for several minutes.

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the one weak point in this plan is the zoo.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKeepers are leaving food at a feeding area so she comes back to the same spot. The plan is lunch, and then patience.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHank, I'd offer you a spot in my hideout, but Samba has got the better one, hasn't she? Private land near Winchester, and she's been running a lot longer than the zoo planned.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI've made my own arrangements. Her sister Tango was recaptured quickly, and Samba is the one who found the exit and kept it.
