Examples
-
The Capromyidae includes 20 species of rodents, known locally as hutias, which are prized for their meat and threatened by hunting, habitat loss and invasive species.
-
This includes two endemic rodent families: Solenodontidae and Capromyidae.
-
Consequently, the majority of hutia species died out, and today most surviving members of the family (Capromyidae) are facing extinction.
