MaraThat’s Milwaukie, Oregon. Tonight I caught a blip of an interesting news story, during commercials. Luckily, I don’t have to watch the news to Google it. Yes, I love instant gratification. According to Oregon Live, a teenager discovered what Wikipedia names a “Mara.” And I want one!

From the little research I’ve done, these Patagonian Cavys can be incredibly social with humans. They’d be perfect for those who always wanted a kangaroo and a donkey and I imagine they’d just love snuggling up with my kitties. So if you’ve been scratching your head, trying to plan the best birthday surprise, I’ll take a large rodent wrapped in a red bow.
