Other rodents might also be suited to domestication; for instance, the potentially tamable, clean-living species of South American fields and woodlands - agouti, capybara, hutia, mare, coypu, pace, and vizcacha.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 3] Reference

The vizcacha, on the contrary, chooses an open level spot, the cleanest he can find to burrow on.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Naturalist in La Plata] Reference

The abundance of cattle on the pampas has made it unnecessary to use the vizcacha as an article of food.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Naturalist in La Plata] Reference

The reason is evident enough; in desert regions the vizcacha has several deadly enemies in the larger rapacious mammals.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Naturalist in La Plata] Reference
