Yonenaga's Atlantic Spiny-rat, Trinomys yonenagae, is a spiny rat species found in the rainforests of South America. Locally, it is known as rabo de facho.
The Yonenaga's rat is a burrowing rodent that lives in colonies. As they live in an environment where vision is limited, they rely on scents from anal glands to provide cues as to identity and intention of other rodents in the colony.
Famous quotes containing the word atlantic:
“Tell [the next Miss America] she is taking on a great responsibility. A responsibility to herself, to her people, to the Miss American Pageant, the people of Atlantic City, her state and her nation. Tell her the country and the world will judge America by her.”
