Jamaican coney
The Jamaican coney (''Geocapromys brownii''), also known as the Jamaican hutia, is a terrestrial land mammal found in the rocky, forested areas of Jamaica, and is endemic to the Island. It is in the Order Rodentia and the Capromyidae family.
It is related to the hutias and more distantly to guinea pigs. It is the only extant native land mammal on Jamaica besides bats.
==Description==
The Jamaican coney is generally about the size of a cottontail rabbit, and mature adults usually weigh between 1 to 2 kg.〔'〕 It is reddish brown in color and ranges in size from about 330 to 445 mm in length. It has the smallest tail of all the species in the genus (approximately 45mm). It has a large head (the largest in the genus), short legs, short tail, and short ears and neck, which gives it a somewhat squat appearance. It has large, robust incisors and hypsodont cheekteeth.〔
