What is the name of an animal in Panama looks like a beaver but is not is it a cudamunde?
The animal you are referring to is likely the capybara, not a "cudamunde." Capybaras are large rodents native to South America, resembling beavers in size and shape but are not closely related. They are often found near water bodies in Panama and are known for their social behavior and semi-aquatic lifestyle. Cudamunde, or coatis, are a different species altogether and have a more elongated body and a long snout.
