A WHITE guinea pig that lives on Koombana Drive has evaded capture for over a year by using the burrows of his rabbit friends.
Kenneth, as he is known by locals, was one of nine dumped near the Koombana Bridge.
But seven have since been caught and re-homed.
The eighth went missing under mysterious circumstances, leaving just Kenneth.
Wildlife carer Doreen Jones was one of seven that successfully captured Kenneth's brothers and sisters.
“I went down with group of people and we went crawling through the bush but we couldn't find them initially - until someone placed a trap, which caught four of the guinea pigs there,” Ms Jones said.
“I got a phone call about a week later to say there were four still down there, that time we managed to catch three more."
Her last attempt catching Kenneth was in July.
She said whenever anyone got close he would run down a rabbit burrow.
"We're lucky that guinea pigs and rabbits can't breed, otherwise there would be a problem."
But Kenneth's safety has since come into question.
A concerned resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she went searching for Kenneth on Monday but only found fur.
"After seeing it mentioned on another Facebook page I thought i would start trying to feed it again with a few attempting to catching it - I went down to the bushes there after work of Monday and found some of his fur, no body, just fur," they said.
Ms Jones now cares for several of Kenneth's brothers and sisters.
Two of his sisters have since had children.
