A Really Big, and Really Cute, Rodent

The photo below is of an animal called a Patagonian Cavy, or also referred to as the Patagonian Mara. This incredibly cute little guy is indigenous to Argentinian. And while he looks a lot like a rabbit, he really is a big rodent.

Some visitors to Disney's Animal Kingdom, especially the "half-day parkers", won't know that the Cavy is one of the very first animals on display at the park. So instead of rushing though the Oasis to your e-ticket of choice, stop and look around. There are some amazing, rare, and really cute animals all around you.
