|
Pacas are large, pig-like rodents that are brown or blackish with horizontal rows of whitish spots on sides. They are usually 24 to 31 inches plus a tiny tail. |
|
| Pacas are seed and fruit eaters. They tend to store seeds in the ground for the future becoming unintentional propagators of many plants. | |
| They are found in middle and low elevation wet forests and in drier areas near water. | |
