Agouti/Guatusa

Dasyprocta punctata

Description:

My butterfly fruit table got very interesting to this beautiful animal. A very special spotting for me because I see lots of Butterflies, Moth, Insects and Birds but I just can seem to see mammals very often.

Wow! I've never even heard of an agouti! That is amazing. I'll have to read up on them a bit.

Such an interesting and unusual creature, looks artificial although I know it's real. I hope you are able to find and photograph more mammals for your collection. I love finding something new and different even in familiar things.
