Cinnamon the giant rodent has finally been captured over a week after her grand escape from her habitat in Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World. The missing capybara was located on Wednesday by her team who were working around the clock to bring her home.

After 'living her best life' in the wild for a week, Cinnamon is back at the zoo reunited with her twin brother, Churro - and is acclimatising to life back in captivity

The search for Cinnamon the escaped capybara is to resume after efforts to find her were paused over fears she could move on to Ministry of Defence (MoD) land. She escaped from her enclosure at Hoo Zoo in Telford, Shropshire, on 13 September and since then has been living in zoo-owned woodland outside the site's perimeter.
