**BREAKING: Capybara Crisis Averted as Authorities Realize They’re Not Actually Worried**
In a shocking turn of events, the local zoo has announced that they are pausing their search for an escaped capybara, citing that it’s just really, really comfortable and they’re not actually that concerned.
The capybara, named “Capy” by zoo officials, managed to slip out of its enclosure on Tuesday afternoon, sending shockwaves through the community. But as it turns out, Capy is just really good at being a couch potato.
“We’re not really looking that hard for it,” said zoo spokesperson, Jane Smith. “I mean, have you seen the pictures of Capy just chillin’ in the park? It’s got a better life than most of us do.”
According to eyewitnesses, Capy was spotted lounging in a nearby pond, snacking on some tasty aquatic plants, and taking the occasional dip to cool off.
“It’s like it’s on vacation,” said zoo visitor, John Doe. “I saw it just floating there, looking like the king of the castle. I was a little jealous, to be honest.”
The zoo has reportedly set up a “Capy Cam” to monitor the capybara’s activities, but so far, it seems like it’s just enjoying the freedom.
“We’re not going to bother trying to catch it,” said Smith. “I mean, it’s not like it’s hurting anyone. It’s just a capybara living its best life.”
The search for Capy has been put on hold indefinitely, with zoo officials instead focusing on finding ways to make the enclosure more… comfortable.
“We’re thinking of adding some extra pillows and a mini-fridge,” said Smith. “We don’t want Capy to get bored or anything.”
In related news, the local rodent community has reported a surge in applications for “extreme relaxation” training programs.
**UPDATE:** Capy has just been spotted taking a nap in a nearby hammock. This story will be updated as more information becomes available… or not.
