TORONTO — The offspring of Toronto’s wandering capybaras now have names — Alex, Geddy and Neil, for members of the band Rush.
The High Park Zoo says the “capybabies” were born in February to famed escape artists Bonnie and Clyde.
The elder capybaras, which resemble oversized tail-less beavers, became celebrities when they escaped last May and eluded zoo staff and animal detectives for weeks.
Their daring escape led to dozens of sightings. One capybara was eventually caught June 12 and the other remained free until June 28.
