Spotted Paca Chester Zoo 7 September 1989

Spotted Paca (Agouti paca). Two pairs of these rodents were housed in what is now the bush dog enclosure. They hardly ever showed themselves, and I was lucky to get this shot.

I`ve got nearly the same photo myself these i would love to see back in the zoo.

Me too!!

That makes three of us, but I doubt we'll see them at Chester again since they aren't endangered. They'd look nice with the bears.

Make that four

5!!

By the way, love the old photos Rob

Could we compromise with pacarana then?
Great photo @bongorob

Well with the sloths new home also to be home to a terrestrial mammal as well apparently, you never know, it will be this or more likely Agouti... but lets not get ahead of ourselves guessing.
