Field Notes

Notes:

These guys are related to the guinea pig, but have longer legs. They can stand on all fours! They are called agutís in Spanish, but in Mexico in this area and others they are called sereques. This area has a lot of woods that are preserved Mayan ruins in which they will roam around.
