"I like a piece of orange for breakfast"
This is a very cute Azara's Agouti at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
This species is found in both tropical rain forests and tropical dry forests of South America. Listed as Data Deficient because there is still very little information about its population density and ecological requirements. They are considered at risk due to the destruction of forests for logging and agriculture. Natural predators include the Jaguarundi, Jaguar, Ocelot and large snakes. Indigenous people also hunt them for food.
They eat mostly seeds, nuts and fallen fruits although they will eat bird's eggs and carrion if they find it.
