Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Patagonian Cavy - LP Zoo

Patagonian cavy, I 

Look like a jackrabbit, I do.

I am a rodent, somewhat shy,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Argentina's the only place

My kind in the wild do be found,

Hopping or galloping with grace,

With strong, long legs over the ground.

With others we communicate

With varied sounds from grunts to screams.

Monogamously we do mate,

Lifelong together, twosome teams.

Ambassador, I am pleased that

Humans visit my habitat.
