Spix's yellow-toothed cavy
Spix's yellow-toothed cavy, ''Galea spixii'', is a rodent, a cavy species from South America. It is found in Bolivia east of the Andes and much of south central to northeastern Brazil.〔 The species is found in open savanna and semiarid habitats, such as the Cerrado and Caatinga of Brazil.〔 Its karyotype is 2n = 64 and FN = 118.〔
''Galea spixii'' and ''G. musteloides'' are similar and may actually be the same species. ''G. spixii'' tolerates a wide range of environmental changes, though they need open habitats. It is the most stable species within the ''Galea'' group because it is extremely abundant throughout its range. 〔Catzeflis, F., Patton J., Percequillo, A., Bonvicino, C. & Weksler, M. 2008. Galea spixii. In: IUCN 2013. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2013.1. . Downloaded on 08 October 2013.〕
Gestation is about fifty days. Litters size ranges from one to five, with an average of three. They have hair and open eyes at birth.〔Eisenberg, J. F., & Redford, K. H. (1999). (Mammals of the Neotropics: The Central Neotropics (Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil) ). Chicago: University of Chicago press.〕 Maturation of the two sexes takes differently long: female ''G. spixii'' have an open vagina when they are approximately eighty days old while the testicular descent is completed in male ''G. spixii'' at around one hundred thirty-five days old. Males and females in this species are aggressive to each other. Paternal care is rarely remarkable. When females go into estrus aggressiveness increases. On the other hand, when male approaches females in order to mate, it competes aggressively with other males. 〔ADRIAN, O., & SACHSER, N. (2011).
