Patagonian cavy! Such wild looking little critters!! They are large rodents native to Argentina, specifically the grasslands and scrublands of Patagonia. Patagonian cavies are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, leaves, and other vegetation. They have specialized digestive systems that allow them to efficiently extract nutrients from tough, fibrous plant material. They are also monogamous! #cavy #animaleducation #patagoniancavy #Rescue #AnimalRescue #AnimalSanctuary #ExoticAnimals #Animals

The Patagonian cavy… also known as the Patagonian mara, Patagonian hare, or dillaby is a herbivorous, somewhat rabbit-like animal found in open and semiopen habitats in Argentina, including large parts of Patagonia. This strange looking animal is often overlooked by Zoo visitors but has lots of personality and is quite adorable as well!! | Claws 'N' Paws Wild Animal Park
