Lord figures the giant rodents, who escaped from High Park Zoo last week triggering a city-wide search, will “probably just eat grass and stay away from people and dogs.”


When the animals are spotted, Lord recommended getting someone who has herded cattle to lure them into a waiting truck.


“They’ll be happy back in the zoo,” he said. “But keep the door shut, for crying out loud.”

 

 

 

This is assuming they are not caught by local first for fresh game - Toronto is a very multicultural city.

South America's capybara is the world's largest living rodent. The meat of the capybara is reminiscent of pork; it is considered a delicacy, and often served dried, salted, shredded and seasoned alongside rice and plantains. It is also consumed in sushi. The meat, either raw or slightly steamed, is rinsed in a vinegar and salt mixture and rolled in sticky rice with a seaweed covering just like fish would be.
