Mt. Cacaguatique, Dept., San Miguel, Salvador Nov., 21, 1925 - Dec., 23, 1925 Spotted Cavy — Tipisquite This species was met by me only at night with my carbide hunting lamp. During the early evening of December 5th I left our cabin and followed the [illegible] trail down to the little stream where we got our drinking water thence up a slight incline where the coffee was thicker and to where the trail turned off into heavier and denser coffee. Shortly after I turned the curve a large red eye flashed in the coffee to my left. I took a step or two more and fired low. The animal went crashing off through the dead leaves and twigs land I followed for about fifty yards and found my specimen making his final struggle for life. Near this place I flashed similar eyes several times until finally on the night of December 21st I killed a female just not more than thirty five feet from where I killed the other, a male. I saw many tracks of these mammals in muddy paths through brush and weeds near some of the mountain streams. The print made by the front foot might be easily mistaken for that of a Raccoon but the toes are narrower and shorter. The natives claim they eat bananas. I found their skin hard to cut but easy to tear. Their flesh is palatable and is relished by the natives.
