I hope so, I think the idea was to capture it in order to save it, so probably it's in zoo captivity. If I can find a followup story Ill post it up! :)

Here ya go, this one says "It was put into a pen on an island in the middle of the lake that has been dubbed its hospital and sanatorium."

Hopefully they decide to remove it from the filthy lake and treat in captivity in sanitory conditions.
