This weeks animal is the wacky looking Mara or Patagonian Cavy. I first noticed a couple of these at our local zoo. I couldn't figure out exactly what the heck this was, it looks kind of like an enormous rabbit. It is a fascinating creature to watch...
For the record, the Mara can be found in South America and eats grass... yuck!
San Nakji for President!
You're right, it does look like an enormous rabbit
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! I don't know...but maybe it is the cousin to the jackalope. *grins*
ReplyDeleteCool looking animal though. I had never heard of it before!
