The search continues for two capybaras who escaped from the High Park Zoo Tuesday.

The furry rodents -- a male and female -- have managed to elude capture since they escaped from their pen as zoo officials were trying to place them alongside a male capybara already inside the enclosure.

The male capybara -- whose name is Chewy -- remains in the pen alone.

Parks department spokesperson Megan Price told reporters it was a "Bonnie and Clyde situation."

She said, "When the staff at the end of the day had a chance to speak in detail with the zookeepers last night, it actually turns out it was a male and a female that were being delivered yesterday who are the fugitives right now."

At the height of yesterday’s search, more than 30 staff members with the zoo and the city’s parks and recreation department were searching for the missing animals but to no avail.

Authorities were back on the ground Wednesday, combing through High Park and the surrounding area for signs of them. Zoo officials said Wednesday that they were worried that the two rodents wouldn't know what to do in the "wild" because they are so young and were bred in captivity.

Mayor John Tory visited the zoo Wednesday afternoon and commented on the "great staff" and people working to find the animals. He said the zoo is deploying full resources, including overnight surveillance.

He posted a picture of himself with the remaining capybara and zoo staff on Twitter, saying “If you get home and find a giant rodent in your backyard, please call 311.”

“They do bring a lot of entertainment to kids and families and bring great source of education,” Tory told reporters at High Park.

The capybaras have brownish-reddish fur, small, beady eyes and are not considered to be dangerous to the public, a spokesperson with High Park and the Parks, Forestry and Recreation department said.

Zoo officials also said Wednesday they're hopeful the animals will return to their "home," as they did on Tuesday night before taking off again.

Anyone who spots them is asked to call 311.

The runaway rodents have become a hot topic on social media. There are even a few Twitter accounts in their name.
