Hutia are very cool. Congratulations. Please move him to an all metal, or metal lined cages as soon as possible. He can quickly eat through a wooden cage. Maybe Custom Cages can send you a SunCatcher cage for it.

[@aprilpotter3054]

Looks like a cross between a Nutria and a Capybara. Very cute.

[@jebVlogs556]

hmm i had done some research, further than i like however.. the rare sacred *hutia* they are closely related to "giant beavers than anything else. they are terrestial yet not aquatic or semi-aquatic like their cousins. that's why they mainly eat foliage based plant matter like infamous potus green vines and dry fruit. potus plants are found all over the united states cause "migrate birds and spiders" be dropping their seeds all over the place..

[@scorpio663]

❤He is like a Beaver / Cappabera/ Guinea pig . How cute his face is . 🤗🦛

The Desmarest's hutia is found only in Cuba, but is widespread throughout its range. They are found on the main island, Isla de la Juventud, the Sabana archipelago, the Doce Laqunas archipelago and many of the other islands and cays of the Cuban archipelago. An extinct subspecies, C. p. lewisi, formerly lived in the Cayman Islands before it was wiped out shortly after European colonization.[3] This subspecies may have been the subject of a report by Francis Drake when he visited the islands, in which he spoke of "little beast-like cats" and "coneys" throughout the area.[5] Behaviour and reproductionedit Desmarest's hutias normally live in pairs, but can be found individually or in small groups. They are diurnal and do not burrow, so during the night they rest in hollows in rocks or trees. They are omnivorous but eat mostly bark, leaves and fruit. Occasionally they will take small vertebrates such as lizards. Both males and females scent mark their territory with urine. They breed throughout the year with a gestation period of between 110 and 140 days (normally around 120 to 126 days), although peak breeding season is in June/July. They normally produce between one and three young, weighing an average of 230 g (8 oz). The young are precocial, with fur, fully open eyes and the ability to walk. They are weaned at around five months and reach sexual maturity at around ten months. In captivity they live for eight to eleven years.

[@HEARTFULL_13]

Thanks for the info 🙂

[@lorineilly6103]

The absolute cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Love the little fellow.

[@epic3423]

It’s actually called Desmarest's hutia. And in the wild they live in pairs. I know it may be impossible, but if you can find another one, then it would probably feel more comfortable. But it might also become more aggressive too. Cool animal

[@stephaniemejia5171]

I asked my Alexa and they are able to eat through that wooden cage real quick. They get all the water intake from the leaves and branches and also like insects. Thank you for caring for all the animals love watching all your videos and Kenya's.🙂

[@Albertolopez-nr1kt]

That is a “jutia conga”, Cuban hutia (Capromys pilorides). Out of the 2 most common in Cuba this is the one that stays closer to ground.

[@kellyburnett1833]

Incredible, never heard of this animal. I’m sure he/she will thrive in your care. 😊

[@tiffiny4733]

That’s a real ROUS. 😂 It’s a cute one though.

[@chasechristophermurraydola9314]

Hey Blake I looked it up and it says it’s an omnivore and it mostly eats bark, leaves and fruit but occasionally it will eat lizards and they are the largest living species of Hutias and they are the closest living relatives of Nutria aka Coypu, Degus and American spiny rats and the hutias rest in Hollows, rocks and trees and both the males and females scent mark their territory and in captivity they can live for eight to eleven years.

[@MFoster392]

Kenan went to Bush Wildlife a few times while they were building the new place and still in the old one. That lady is so amazing she knows every animal including the venomous snakes and every inch of that place because she laid it all out and designed it :)

[@clark2491]

Sorry, there was no woman designing that facility . It flows way to well.

[@michellemorningstar880]

OMG he is so darn cute love him he is amazing .thanks so very much Blake ...

[@harpermartin6806]

Hutia...never heard of it but soooo cute!!!

[@zebedeemadness2672]

He needs a all metal cage like the Kookaburras cage, a wooden cage won't last long.

[@gauravshah3998]

Awesome ❤ please make more videos on th animal which was there in the last part ❤

[@readyalways1414]

I hope you find more information about it soon BIG DOGGIE 💯👣

[@JoJaimes]

[@HEARTFULL_13]

Oh yea, I saw an animal like this in a game "AC: Black Flag" same name too. Although in the game they are a bit bigger. Yours is pretty cute. Made some cute squeaks and teeth chatter.

[@sonyamarsh7629]

He is so cute! He looks like a beaver in the face

[@nieves_350z5]

Put sum sand in the enclosure there found in the beach in Cuba and don’t let Cubans near it they they it’s really really good tasting 😂 they also get them as baby’s and you can tame them like dogs super cool animal only seen them in Cuba it’s cool to see one here👌

[@karenbabonoyaba6197]

Ok. I was looking throuh the comments to see if anyone said anything about him grabbing the poop and showing it to us casually saying this right here is what his poo looks like 😂 that cracked me up!!

[@hollietufts3035]

[@lawdawg_7983]

[@ryanthomas985]

You should try aspen branches or willow we raised a beaver he loved them maybe cattail roots to our beaver loved pears and strawberry as a treat it was like beaver Crack 😂😂

[@zebedeemadness2672]

8:45 Using 305, change 3 to the 3rd letter C, change the zero to letter O, change 5 to the 5th letter E, so Coe, pronounced as Koi (as in Koi carp). There genus name Capromys translates as Boar-mouse.

[@zerotohero3358]

Some people in cuba grow these up as pets, basically big guinea pigs. Others grow them up as food

[@shawn_baker]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@alexcookevents]

Very cool

[@elisheva67]

Reminds me of a Wombat. Very cute indeed. Or the one marsupial from Australia

[@rinraiden7025]

Which marsupial from Australia? Most marsupials are from Australia, wombats, koalas, kangaroos, cuscus, possums (not to be confused for american opossum), wallabies, tasmanian devils

[@rinraiden7025]

Which Australian marsupial? Most marsupials are from Australia

[@elisheva67]

Oh.. the cuscus or the ones that likes to photobomb and smiles

[@elisheva67]

I think it’s the cuscus

[@rinraiden7025]

@@elisheva67 the photobomb one is called a quokka

[@yossi3008]

The body length of the nutria is 45 centimeters, and the length of its tail is 30 cm. Its average weight is four kilograms. The duration of pregnancy is about 130 days, and in each pregnancy between four and eight girls are born. The nutria usually feeds on water plants and riparian plants. It originates from South America, and in addition to this continent It is also common in North America, Europe and was brought by man to Israel. In Israel the notary is an invasive species. Families of Nutria are found in Agmon Hula, in the Sea of Galilee, in Yarkon Park, in Nahal Ekron, in the fish ponds in Ma'agan Michael, Agmon Hefer and in the pool of Nahal Ein Zahav in the KKL-Junk grove in the Kiryat Shmona area. The notary's body is suitable for swimming. Her eyes, ears and nostrils are located on the top of her head, which protrudes from the water while she is in it. Her hind legs have swimming membranes. The front legs lack swimming membranes, but are used for walking, holding food and combing and cleaning the fur. Her tail resembles a rat's tail. The notary successfully adapts to diverse living areas thanks to its contentment with little. For its existence, it needs a small water mikvah and plant food that grows in the water or on the nearby bank. Most of its activity takes place at night. The female gives birth to her cubs when they are covered in fur and their eyes are open. At the end of two months of the mother's care, they become independent. Man makes a lot of use of the notary's beautiful fur, and it was brought by him to different places in the world and also to Israel. Many nutria escaped from captivity and reproduced in the wild in large quantities. A mistaken belief is that in Israel its breeding was stopped due to the poor development of the fur in the weather of the Land of Israel, but there is a letter to the members of Kibbutz Holta from a European fur company that indicates that the quality of the fur is of the highest quality, but since notary breeders for the fur began all over Europe, buying from Israel was uneconomical. The notary digs holes in the water bank that cause a lot of damage to the fish ponds. In the years when the population of carnivores in Israel was harmed due to poisoning, the population of nutria increased greatly and a great deal of damage was also caused to vegetable crops.

[@shaunvanrenen8457]

Old Master splinter lol 😂

[@lianaspandega1030]

I never seen one of them before how cool.

[@bulldog469]

Like the new animal

[@InspirationalManatee-zf2yz]

The most info i could find is that they dont make their own burrows so they use rock crevasses and hollow trees. they eat leaves, fruit and bark and they are hunted for food in cuba

[@flynnbeach4308]

You could build him an enclosure the same cage as peitris nextdoor neighbour and build him a dope setup

[@mikeydontlikey1]

Make his new enclosure have a real tree in the middle a big tree with net on the top and cage down the side like a miniature bird cage around a tree

[@rogerparker329]

Which subspecies of Hutia do you have, as I understand there are 10 in total most of which are only found on Cuba? I ask as there are breeders in the UK as have seen the advertised for sale.

[@mikebluestein6619]

Ben from Urban Rescue Ranch might have a similar creature

[@samisabau691]

Keep him in the aviary!!

[@markhopatcong9866]

Don't know where you were looking but Google has a ton of info about the Cuban hutia. 🤔

He or she is 🥰 cute

Your son is adorable Hutia

[@angelfernandez4810]

Yall should call him Splinters on the count of that's what he makes his food into 😅

[@13moosk13]

My dad told me about them. Im gonna call him to see what he knows. I doubt it's much...

[@AGC-JiuJitsu7]

Its a JutÍa , or ( hutia ) , in the farm i grew up in cuba we had tons of them

[@BlakesExoticAnimalRanch]

I need more lol

[@AGC-JiuJitsu7]

@@BlakesExoticAnimalRanch they are very cool and make great pets if you get them when they’re babies, you definitely need more lol

[@anyelomiami4951]

That's a Cuban hutia. They are native to Cuba, and here in Florida, some people raise them legally. Clearly, you don't know or seek the correct information. They don't eat grape leaves; they only eat fruits, and of course, they need water since they are from the Caribbean. So please, feed it what it needs. If you want, I can help you.

[@karenbabonoyaba6197]

You should call him Pitbull since he's Mr. 305 😂😂😂

[@danielvelez4001]

Is related to beavers😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@aunttpathfinder5049]

❤❤❤

[@roypythor7962]

Is it the prehistoric looking solenodon

[@philipbutler6608]

Cuban Mulcher. In stead of cow chips you get wood chips.

[@rpmrangerorange3112]

I believe it's a Cuban.Soldon Or something called a Hataya. which is a relative of the Capybara. You can name him after the capital of Cuba, Havana.

[@punkiebrice9455]

ow I know that animal. That's actually called a Cuban crock candy they actually jump up and eat them when they're walking in the mangrove swamps in Cuba. That is a reason why the Cuban crock is endangered cuz the they're habitat is being destroyed and their food is becoming less and less available.

[@user-cr9rh3ul7n]

Hutia? That’s an interesting name

[@jodyboatright41]

❤

[@Sanmandan24]

Its called a Desmarests hutia . From what i found online.

[@user-jh7om9uc1e]

Cars is so cute

[@karaleeann1211]

Do they swim? He’s cute, maybe he would like some toys, when you said in the car eating wires it made me think of an animal in CA mountain, a Marmot. Not sure if they are related? ❤❤❤ I bet he would enjoy some nuts, and maybe apples or dog food, like a rodent or skunk diet?

[@lisaweatheral4458]

Love watching upur KZbin. Very interesting and fun. I wanted to see if you heard of the SHOEBILL STORK? I know you like large birds. Very few people have them. They are OK around people, but they eat animals. They are very unusual birds from Africa. If anyone could care for one, it would be you. A breeding program would be very helpful. 11:19 But ZooTampa is home to three of only four shoebill storks in the United States. These fascinating birds can reach 5 feet in height and are classified as critically endangered, with only 3,300 to 3,500 mature shoebills still living in the wild.Mar 30, 2021
