No, agouti do not lay eggs. Agouti are mammals and give birth to live young.
Red-rumped agouti was created in 1758.
Agoutis typically live for 7-10 years in the wild. In captivity, they can live slightly longer, up to 12-15 years with proper care and nutrition.

The scientific name of the South American Agouti is Dasyprocta spp.
It is quite possible. Let us say that both of these solid black mice breed together, and have a few pale babies. This would give reason to believe that they are what is called 'heterozygous' for agouti. If a male and female mice were pure bred black, then the gene would be represented as such: Male: BB Female: BB BB, Bb= Black bb= agouti Now, if your rats are heterozygous for the agouti gene (Bb) it means that they look black, but have the agouti gene in them. The black colour being the dominant trait, and the agouti being recessive. If you cross two Bb rats, the offspring will come out like so: BbxBb= 25% Pure black rats (BB), this is called homozygous 50% heterozygous rats (Bb) and 25% homozygous recessive (bb) So, to say it simply, yes. Two black mice can have light agouti babies. Search up punnet square, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses to learn more.
The Agouti can bury Brazilian nuts to grow more trees and the nuts from that treeand the circle can keep on going!
Agouti is a type of rodent commonly found in Central and South America. They resemble large guinea pigs and have a distinctive appearance with short ears, webbed feet, and a bushy tail. Agoutis play an important role in their ecosystems by dispersing seeds and helping to maintain biodiversity.
