Mammals that you have seen in the wild

Hello.

1. Didelphis aurita - Big-eared opossum
2. Sciurus ingrami - Ingram's squirrel
3. Dasyprocta leporina - Red-rumped agouti
4. Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris - Capybara
5. Callithrix penicillata - Black-tufted marmoset
6. Sapajus nigritus - Horned capuchin
7. Alouatta caraya - Black howler monkey
8. Alouatta guariba - Red howler monkey
9. Cerdocyon thous - Crab-eating fox
10. Nasua nasua - Ring-tailed coati

Possibly:

1. Sylvilagus brasiliensis - Brazilian rabbit/Tapeti

The year is 2015. Going back to my cousin's house (located in a rural area near Curitiba) after a few days trip in Foz do Iguaçu, we see a wild rabbit running down the road. It did not resemble a Eurasian hare by any means, so I assume what we saw was a tapeti.

I am not counting any introduced species for that matter, so no rats.
