The shy agouti, resembling a cross between a squirrel and a rabbit, posed on the sand between the ocean and a fence near the back of the house before squeezing under the boards and disappearing into the foliage on the other side. It was a rare, magical sighting accompanied by the soft sound of waves lapping on a tranquil beach. We wished it well.

Exciting to see. Kind of the shape of a capybara but looked smaller. Wonder if it it in the rodent family.
