The Most Influential Animals Of 2016

Capybara Who Escaped The Zoo

Even though this animal is adorable, some people forgot that a capybara is still just a massive rat. In June, 2016, two capybaras, which are large rodents, escaped a zoo in Toronto and the city fell in love with them. Many news channels and internet websites began calling the two rodents, “Bonnie and Clyde,” hoping that no one would ever be able to catch these two.

But, after several sightings in the downtown core and in parks, the two capybaras were apprehended and captured. The two are now being kept in a park in Toronto, to ensure that both of the animals are happy, but safe to humans as well. The funniest part about this is that the animals are just glorified rats, even though people fell in love with them.
