Exotic animal found in Milwaukie (Oregon)









U.S. teen finds Argentine rodent

<snip>

MILWAUKIE, Ore., April 16 (UPI) -- An Oregon high school student said he was a little confused when he stumbled across a "goofy" Argentine rodent on the way to class.

Nicco Phillips, 17, was on his way to meet his girlfriend before class at Milwaukie High School when he spotted the unusual Argentine animal, named a cavey, the (Portland) Oregonian reported Wednesday.

"At first I thought it was a baby deer. Then it sort of hopped away, like a rabbit. It looked so goofy," Phillips said of his unexpected Tuesday discovery.

Phillips and his girlfriend took the animal to Phillips' house after luring it into a cardboard box with an apple. The high school students said they let the cavey venture around the front yard on a leash.

"It's very cuddly with me. It's snuggles like a rabbit," Phillips said.

An owner has not been found, but Phillip's mother said her son would be glad to keep the curious cavey.
