Firefighters in Guaratinguetá, in the interior of São Paulo state, rescued a capybara that had wandered into a daycare centre on Wednesday the 7th. The animal was found inside a municipal daycare on Avenida Alexandre Fleming, in the Parque São Francisco neighbourhood. Crews captured the rodent without drama and took it away from the site. The brigade then released it back into its natural habitat. Firefighters said they had no record of any incident involving the animal during its visit. Photographs from the operation were shared by the fire corps and picked up by local outlets. Capybaras are regular visitors to Brazilian towns near rivers and green spaces, and they stray into yards and school grounds with some frequency. The daycare reported no injuries linked to the uninvited guest.
