Agouti - ninemsn Encarta (247 words)
Agouti, common name for several rodents found in forested regions from southern Mexico south to Paraguay and Brazil, and in the Caribbean region.
The larger types of agoutis range from 42 to 62 cm (16 to 24 in) in head and body length; two types of agoutis, also called acouchis, are a quarter of the size.
Agoutis live in underground dens, from which they usually emerge during the day, although in areas of intense human activity they may be nocturnal.
