- A capybara named Samba has evaded capture for two weeks after escaping from Marwell Zoo near Winchester, Hampshire.
- Zoo staff have deployed extensive resources, including sniffer dogs, thermal drones, and camera traps, but say that Samba has proven "particularly adept at avoiding detection".
- Samba, who escaped with her sister Tango (who was later recovered), has been sighted along the River Itchen in various locations.
- The zoo is urging local residents to report any sightings of the nine-month-old rodent to a dedicated 24-hour hotline, providing photos and location details.
- Members of the public are advised not to approach Samba to avoid stressing her, and the zoo has launched a review into how the escape occurred.
