Dasyprocta aguti
This is a reddish agutí. At least I think it's the correct translation of the local name. It is a 30 to 40 cm length, 25 cm height, so it is a nice animal. With the bright fur. Order Rodentia, family Dasyproctidae, it is pretty similar to others members of this family in the east of Argentina.
It could be found in the areas near the Callilegua National Park, from Tucumán to Bolivia and Perú. In Argentina mostly associated to the Yungas Forest.
