  Acouchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The acouchies (genus Myoprocta) are rodents belonging to the Dasyproctidae family.
In fact, acouchis will often respond to the sound of ripe fruit falling from trees by frenzily running towards what they hope will be their next tasty meal.
Acouchies depend on their tails to convey their willingness and readiness to mate.
