Agouti |
||
|
Agoutis are medium sized brown rodents from the rainforest of South America. They have small round ears and short tails. Agoutis are not very fierce; they eat fruit and nuts which they sometimes bury in the ground to dig up when they are hungry. |

|
Agoutis have an amazing sense of hearing. This means that they can hear their enemies coming. They can also hear ripe fruit falling from trees in the distance. |

Baby agoutis can run around and nibble plants when they are just one hour old! |
