SHANGHAI, China - Officials have captured the last member of a runaway capybara gang that escaped from a zoo in eastern China two months ago, a statement said Tuesday.The missing male rodent, named "Doubao" -- "Bean Bun" in Chinese -- absconded from an enclosure at the Yangzhou Zhuyuwan Scenic Area along with two other capybaras in early April.Doubao remained at large for weeks after his companions were caught by zoo officials.

A video published by the zoo showed Doubao sniffing around a cage and pawing at its sides while a person can be heard saying "welcome home Doubao".Capybaras are native to South America but in recent years have become popular attractions at zoos worldwide, with the semi-aquatic rodents becoming unlikely darlings of the internet.The zoo said the trio made their April breakout when another capybara Bazong -- "Big Shot" -- broke through a fence.
