A capybara escaped from a theme park in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, on Thursday was discovered useless on a neighborhood highway the next morning.

The capybara, a three-year-old male named Iroha, escaped when a keeper opened its cage on the ‘Osaru Land & Ani Town’ theme park. The animal measured about one meter in size and weighed roughly 30 kilograms. Police and park workers have been actively looking for it.

At round 5:30 AM on June 7, a passerby found the capybara’s physique on a highway in Karakura, about 250 meters from the theme park. The animal had a mark on its proper hindquarters, suggesting it had collided with one thing.

The theme park confirmed that the useless capybara was certainly Iroha, and the park has since retrieved the physique.
