Striped deer-agouti (SciiFii)

The striped deer-agouti (Myodorcas striatus) is a species of rodent part of genus Myodorcas most closely related to the agoutis (Dasiprocta) that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The striped deer-agouti is a very large rodent of its family, growing on average to be about the size of a duiker antelope of Africa. Like their smaller relatives, striped deer-agoutis are herbivorous, feeding mainly on fruits, and they play an important role in seed dispersal. The striped deer-agouti is a rather solitary animal that prefers to spend most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the striped deer-agouti is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the striped deer-agouti's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
