Some research should be done into the populations and subspecies present in the different islands
agouti: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Common_agouti The Rattan Island agouti is on the endangered species list.
They eat those in Dominica 😕
That is highly sought after as exotic wild or bush meat in Trinidad.
They eat this in Suriname. Is considered wild meat.
They are considered both pest and wild meat in Trinidad However you are only allowed to kill and eat them during the hunting season
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
yes people we do have agouti in my area country side they come out an eat all ripe plantain or bannanas they can get you have to chase them away we have them in my area that is the Bexon area.
