The Patagonian cavy (also known as the Patagonian mara) is a unique and large rodent native to Argentina. Resembling a mix between a rabbit and a small deer, they have long, slender legs, a stocky body, and a bushy tail. They are known for their distinctive hopping gait, similar to that of a kangaroo. Patagonian cavies are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses and plants.
