Tayra
The Tayra is a weasel-like animal that resides in Central America, down to Northern-Central South America. Tayras dwell in tropical rainforests, eating a wide array of rodents, as well as small reptiles, mammals, birds and fruits. Tayras hunt both alone and in groups, depending on the individual. They hunt during the day and the night. The rainforest biome of Costa Rica is wonderful for a Tayra, because of the abundance of trees and water.
Tayras have been tamed and live as pets, although they are kinder than weasels and ferrets.
