First records of Lowland Paca (Cuniculus paca) in the Paraguayan Chaco

Mammalia, 2023
Abstract We report the first records of Cuniculus paca for the Chaco or Western Region of Paraguay. The evidence consists of 18 records (63 photos and 12 videos) obtained through a camera trap located in a riparian forest of the Humid Chaco. The species showed solitary and nocturnal behavior and appeared near a stream that flows into the

Organization of Somatosensory Cortex in the South American Rodent Paca (Cuniculus paca).

Brain, behavior and evolution
The study of non-laboratory species has been part of a broader effort to establish the basic organization of the mammalian neocortex, as these species may provide unique insights relevant to cortical organization, function, and evolution.In the present study, the organization of three somatosensory cortical areas of the medium-sized (5-11 kg body mass)

Protein requirements of finishing paca (Cuniculus paca)

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2016
We conducted a nitrogen balance digestion trial to determine the crude protein requirements of paca (Cuniculus paca) during the last growth phase. In a 4 × 4 Latin square design, four young captive male pacas, aged 5 months, were fed four isoenergetic diets containing four different levels of nitrogen (N) (11.3, 16.6, 21.4, and 26.6 g N/kg of dry ...

Imaging studies of the hindlimbs of pacas (Cuniculus paca) bred in captivity

Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2010
Summary Objective: To evaluate the hindlimbs of pacas bred in captivity using radiographic and computed tomography (CT) studies. Animals: Nine mature pacas (Cuniculus paca) 5.9–8.2 kg in body weight. Methods: Radiographical aspects of the bones of the hindlimbs were evaluated, and the Norberg angle and inclination angle ...

Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Isolated in Paca (Cuniculus paca) Carcasses from the Belen Market, Iquitos, Perú

Foodborne pathogens and disease, 2020
The consumption of wildlife meat is traditionally accepted in the Peruvian Amazon; however, little is known about the pathogens present in this type of food. One of the most frequently consumed species is a rodent, the paca (Cuniculus paca) or “majaz” in

Functional morphology of the genital organs in the wild paca (Cuniculus paca) female

Animal Reproduction Science, 2013
Functional morphology of the genital organs is a key knowledge component for enhanced understanding of physiological patterns and for the determination of the reproductive performance in wild species. This study examines the morphology of genital organs of 133 paca females in the wild. Estimated conceptions and parturitions were mostly (83.7% and 75.5%,

Southernmost occurrence of Cuniculus paca (Rodentia, Cuniculidae): new Argentinean localities based on vouchers

Mammalia (Paris)
Limited vouchered records exist for Cuniculus paca, the second-largest living caviomorph rodent, documenting its southernmost occurrence. Here, we introduce four new recording sites based on skulls probably discarded by local hunters, with three located ...
