Cappabera "Pig dogs" or "Pig Rats"

This animal was first introduced to me by my leader Susi. Susi told us a story of these "Pig dogs", as she called them. Their real name is Cappabera. To me they look more like a big "pig rat" that has no tail! This creature is very unique to me, I watched this "pig rat" digging in the ground and burying some sort of food.

I see them a lot in the little town of Gamboa, where my group and I are staying. They come out of the bushes right as your walking past....not so fun to hear the bushes rustle right by you!
I do enjoy Gamboa its a nice quiet town where you can watch the boats drift by...literally!
