MABA OB FATAGONIAIf CAVY. Inhabiting the most unproductive regions of a desolate country, living in holes in the barren earth and fleeing 



at the slightest sound, these animals are seldom seen by investigators. As a usual thing these queer, long-eared, long-legged Rodents are very peaceably 

 disposed and friendly with others of their kind. Occasionally disputes will arise between two male Maras, however, and then they stand on their hind legs. 

 and fight with their fore-paws, as depicted by the artist. (Dolichotis fatagonica.)
