On the morning of May 11, the management office of Yangzhou Zhuyuwan Zoo in Jiangsu province posted a reward notice on its official WeChat account. The notice expained that Doubao, a capybara from the scenic area's zoo, had escaped and has been evading recapture for 40 days.

公告称,嫌疑犯豆包于2025年4月3日凌晨,伙同家庭成员集体越狱,霸总、躲躲已“依法逮捕归案”。目前豆包仍在逃。

经查,疑犯身上无危险武器,亦无攻击性,敬请广大市民和游客放心。但越狱犯罪性质恶劣,须依法严惩,以震慑其他蓄意逃笼的毛孩子。茱萸湾动物园特别悬赏:凡提供豆包出逃有效信息者均可获赠茱萸湾门票一张。

According to the notice, Doubao, the "fugitive" capybara,  escaped with two companions during a late night "jailbreak" on April 3, 2025.

据此前报道,4月3日凌晨,3只卡皮巴拉集体从“公寓”里逃跑。饲养员查看公共视频发现,霸总是这起“越狱”事件的“带头大哥”。当天凌晨3点左右,平日里看起来憨厚的霸总,用它的“铁头功”撞坏了“公寓”的木质窗户,然后带着躲躲和豆包一起溜了出去。目前仅剩豆包还在外面“流浪”。不过,饲养员们已经在附近村庄发现了它的粪便,说明它还在这一带活动。

From surveillance video checked by caregivers, the escape appears to have been spearheaded by Bazong, who headbutted a wooden window to flee, bring his two accomplices with him. While Bazong and Duoduo have both been recaptured, Doubao remains at large. 

卡皮巴拉的名字有什么来头

卡皮巴拉其实是英文单词capybara(/ˌkæpɪˈbɑːrə/)的音译,源自南美洲原住民语言图皮语(Tupi)中的ka'apiûara,意为“水的领主”或“草地的主人”,生动体现了其半水栖的生活习性。

"Kǎpíbalā" is a phonetic adaptation of the English word capybara (/ˌkæpɪˈbɑːrə/), which traces its etymologyback to the Tupi language of South America. Derived from "ka'apiûara", meaning "lord of the water" or "master of the grasses", the name reflects the animal's semi-aquatic lifestyle.
