247 - Capybara Filó was returned to influencer Agenor Tupinambá on Sunday morning (30), in Manaus, after a decision by the Federal Court of Amazonas. The animal had been handed over to Ibama on Thursday (27).

In the decision by federal judge Márcio André Lopes Cavalcante, Agenor can take the capybara to its natural habitat, provided he proves that the transport will be carried out safely, which must be certified by a veterinarian and/or biologist.

"Until Filó's transport is finalized, she must remain at the Tropical Hotel Zoo, considering that the author reports having already obtained the approval of the Responsible Biologist Ricardo dos Santos Amaral," the magistrate decided, in accordance with... on the G1. 

The case gained traction on social media after the farmer and influencer handed over the capybara, as ordered by the authorities.
