Hello
I am currently in my second year of an Animal Science degree and considering doing my project on the Cuban Hutias we have at our college. Does anyone have or work with these timid animals and can shed some light on them Thank-you all

I did a little project on these nice rodents while on university. It's indeed an interesting species. For zoofans: try to see the ones in the zoo of Vienna; they love to sleep atop the Giant Anteaters...;)

On the net, these are some basic informations about them
ADW: Capromys pilorides: Information
Longevity, ageing, and life history of Capromys pilorides
