Rock Cavy (Kerodon rupestris)

Mouse House, May 1, 2015.
Sadly their last animal died some time in 2020 it seems, ending the species' presence in North American zoos.

@ThylacineAlive I saw Smithsonian's rock cavy so many times when I lived in DC that I never realized it was a rare species in the zoo world. It is always sad to see yet another species gone from North American collections.
