Agouti is not found in Barbados *as far as I'm aware.* In fact we have no 'wild meat' as some other islands do. A few people may have eaten monkey and there have been reports of 'wild' rabbits or hares, but I've never heard of agouti. There are mongooses but these are not eaten AFAIK.

I’m not sure about this being on the islands but I’m for a fact that it’s in Guyana and Suriname and we call it this in Guyana too
