Overview
- Samba has not been seen with proof since March 22 in Colden Common, when a photo confirmed her location.
- A report on Wednesday along Highbridge Road drew a search team that found no trace, and the zoo installed a camera there to watch the spot.
- Teams continue targeted sweeps with thermal drones and camera traps near rivers and thick cover, where a semi‑aquatic capybara can stay hidden.
- Two monitoring devices were stolen last month, which the zoo said has slowed checks and reduced coverage.
- Marwell urges residents to send a photo and a precise pin via What3Words or Google Maps to 07436 116740 if they think they have seen Samba.
