Hi c3geckos13! Now that Xiaoxuan has given you the right ID for this animal, you can edit the spotting and change the common name. The scientific name is Dolichotis patagonum. If it was spotted in an animal park or zoo, you should add the name of the park. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patagonian_mara
