    Such an amazing photo! In my country there is the Red-Rumped Agouti, sadly it is hunted for sport and meat year round. Posted 4 years ago

      Ah yes, these poor agoutis get hunted all over the place, I think.
      You're from Trinidad & Tobago, right? I have great memories of it, it was the first country I visited outside of Europe when I was a kid!       Posted 4 years ago

        That's great that you've visited Trinidad and Tobago already! I've only visited Europe once(England pre-Brexit lol), but it was a great experience being in weather cooler than 32 degrees Celsius lol. Posted 4 years ago
