Yes. Agoutis, like all rodents, are mammals.

Agoutis are found in Central and South America, including countries such as Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, and Venezuela. They inhabit tropical rainforests, mangrove swamps, and other wooded areas where they can find cover and ample food sources. Agoutis are known for their strong digging abilities and can create burrows in the ground to take shelter in.

Mammals that live in rainforests include jaguars, spider monkeys, howler monkeys, colobus monkeys, chimpanzees, agoutis, civets, vampire bats, water chevrotains, and the Pygmy Hippopotamus. Birds that live in rainforests include macaws, quetzals, manucodes, astrapias, parotias, toucans, cassowaries, hornbills, lorikeets, and the Harpy Eagle.
Agoutis - like all rodents - are vertebrates
No, it is a plural noun. The agouti is a small Central American rodent.
Agoutis play a crucial role in the rainforest ecosystem as seed dispersers. They consume a variety of fruits and nuts, then scatter the seeds throughout the forest in their feces, helping to regenerate vegetation. Additionally, they are prey for many predators, contributing to the balance of the food chain.
Yes, agoutis do use nests. They typically create nests in dense vegetation or burrows to provide shelter and protection for their young. These nests are often lined with leaves and other plant materials to create a comfortable environment. Additionally, agoutis are known to use their nests for resting and sleeping.
Agoutis eat fruit, leaves, and roots. An agouti may bury extra fruit to eat later, but often neglects to dig it up again. If the agouti buries a nut and never returns to eat it, the nut just might grow into a tree, making agoutis good rain forest gardeners.
Mammals with chisel shaped incisors (front teeth) are rodents and lagomorphs. Lagomorphs (rabbits, hares, and pikas) are all primarily herbivorous. Entirely or mostly herbivorous rodents include most squirrels, beavers, maras, chinchillas, some jerboas, vizcachas, hutias, coypus, pacas, capybaras, porcupines, agoutis, voles, springhares, naked mole rats, pocket gophers, some mice, hamsters, and guinea pigs.

There are multiple keystone species that live in the tropical rainforests. A couple of these species are cassowaries and agoutis.
