This Central American Agouti, Dasyprocta punctata (Wikipedia Link) is indigenous to Central America and found from Southern Mexico through all the countries to the northern borders of South America with another species in the rest of South America, plus Mexico has a Black Agouti. This one was photographed in Carara National Park, Tarcoles. I have photographed several in many places as seen in my C.A. Agouti Gallery.
¡Pura Vida!
Hola Charlie: I think they are adorable!
We used to see a pair of them when we stayed in Vista Atenas. We loved watching them chasing each other and playing.
So cute!
Looks sweet!
