"Bunny" or at least that what they call them in Costa Rica.

The Central American Agouti (Dasyprocta punctata) Agoutis are terrestrial and cursorial which means ground dwelling and built for running with speed. They walk, trot or gallop on their toes, and can jump up more than six feet from a standing position. They are monogamous and mate with the each other for life.

These were in captivity and when I stepped into the cage to pet the Toucan - the guys said "Do you want to see some RATS? and quickly let the Agouti out. Needless to say I was shocked at first but soon realized they were Agouti.
