The Viscacha
The Southern Viscacha (Wisk'acha in native Quechua) is a small, rabbit-like rodent native to South America, found in the rocky deserts and grasslands of the Andes Mountains. Known for its long ears, soft fur, and expressive tail, the Viscacha is most active at dawn and dusk. It plays an important ecological role by grazing on native plants and helping maintain balance in fragile mountain and desert ecosystems.
