A pair of dog-sized rodents has been roaming the west end park since escaping during a transfer at the park's petting zoo on May 24.
Sightings of the furry fugitives — dubbed Bonnie and Clyde by their now massive Twitter audience — have increased in recent days.
Friday morning, a CBC News camera captured one of the capybaras in a forested area at the southeast corner of the park, where the rodent proceeded to go for a swim in a catchment pond.
Such a refreshing swim. Nothing like a polar bear dip to get your day started, eh <a href="https://twitter.com/CBCToronto">@CBCToronto</a> ?<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CapybaraWatch?src=hash">#CapybaraWatch</a> <a href="https://t.co/VrYn98G8Vg">https://t.co/VrYn98G8Vg</a>
