The coruro (''Spalacopus cyanus'') is a species of rodent in the family Octodontidae. It is monotypic within the genus ''Spalacopus''.〔 The species is endemic to central Chile, where it has been found in a wide variety of habitats, from coastal to montane.〔 It is fossorial and lives in colonies.〔 ==Description== Coruros are robust rodents with large heads, short necks and stocky bodies. The fur is short and dark brown, turning blackish on the feet. Their eyes and ears are small and their tails are short and smooth. They are strongly modified for life underground. They have large incisors that curve forward and which are used to loosen soil and gnaw through roots, strong forelimbs for digging and powerful hind limbs for moving soil and kicking it out of the entrance to the burrow.
