Any clue what this rodent might be?
Found in Paraguay, central chaco area close to a lagoon.
Quite big, estimate the body to around 17-18cm.
Thanx for any help!

It’s a democrat. They are quite a nuisance on both coasts of the unites States !
Democrats might be a nuisance, but they help control nasty parasites such as pubic lice, Republicans and bedbugs.

Have you checked the information here ?

Antee, did you see its tail? How long was it? Furry or naked?
