Yonenaga's Atlantic spiny rat
Yonenaga's Atlantic spiny-rat, Trinomys yonenagae, is a spiny rat species found in the rainforests of South America. Locally, it is known as rabo de facho.
This species is a burrowing rodent that lives in colonies. As vision is limited in their environment, they rely on scents from anal glands to provide cues to identify and discern intentions of other rodents in the colony.
