The Acouchis (genus Myoprocta) are rodents belonging to the Dasyproctidae family. They are generally smaller than the Common Agoutis and have a very short tail (5 to 7 cm), while the Common Agoutis lack a tail. For this reason the Acouchis are also called Tailed Agoutis.

Both species live in the Amazon Rainforest. They are coloured brown or greenish, but with brightly orange or red parts of the head. Often Acouchis live in riverbanks, where they dig holes. Like the Common Agouti, but unlike the much larger Pacas, Acouchis are active at day and feed on fruits.
