Ñeque or guatín are the common names by which the species (Dasyprocta punctata) is known in Colombia. It is a medium rodent that is distributed in Central and South America; agile and fast when it must escape its natural predators. It commonly feeds on fruits on the forest floor. Although it is not a rare species of mammal, photographing it in its natural environment, with its cub, is still a special and captivating event of its intimacy.
