This weird-looking and endangered animal is described as looking like ‘an oversized shrew’ and a ‘slow moving clumsy runner’. Also known as the Agouta, the nocturnal Hispaniolan Solenodon has glands (in the armpits and groin) that give it a ‘goat-like smell’.

Using cloth bags has been seen as an extreme act of a crazed environmentalist. We want it to be seen as something a smart progressive person would carry.
