WHAT DOES ACOUCHI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

acouchi

Acouchi

The acouchis are rodents belonging to the family Dasyproctidae from Amazonia. They are generally smaller than the common agoutis and have very short tails, while the common agoutis lack tails. For this reason the acouchis are also called tailed agoutis. The two species — the red acouchi in the Guianas of Amazonia and nearby parts of Brazil, and the green acouchi in western Amazonia - differ in coloration and other characteristics. The taxonomy of the genus has historically been confused, with some authors applying the "M.acouchy" name to the green acouchi, in which case the red acouchi is called M. exilis. Although this issue has now been resolved, other problems remain; in particular, the green acouchi may in fact include more than one species. They are coloured brown or greenish, but with bright orange or red parts on their heads. Often, acouchis live in riverbanks, where they dig holes. Like the common agoutis, but unlike the much larger pacas, acouchis are active at day and feed on fruit. Acouchis depend on their tails to convey their willingness and readiness to mate.

Definition of acouchi in the English dictionary

The definition of acouchi in the dictionary is any of several South American rodents of the genus Myoprocta, closely related to the agoutis but much smaller, with a white-tipped tail: family Dasyproctidae.
