I took my children to a local fair and they had a petting zoo. I met some great people who share a love for animals and one little guy caught my attention. It was a baby mara.

Mara’s are related to Guinea pigs and are the 4th largest rodent in the world. Baby mara’s are born looking just like a mini full grown adult. Hair and all. They have very long legs and are mainly from South America. Another really neat fact is they are monogamous. They mate for life.
