To see an agouti is to appreciate an agouti. In photos they appear to be nothing more than a rat crossed with a squirrel. They are, in fact, rodents, but they are much more regal than your average squirrel. They are bigger too, and with long, slender legs. It would appear, they also sometimes wear glasses. This guy was actually chowing down on seed pods foraged from the leaf litter. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 3200, f/4 at 1/50th of a second

Not bad, but darn, Sean, I wish you had waited to take this until it had put the glasses back on.
