From Wikipedia
A paca (from Tupí paka) is a member of the genus Cuniculus of ground-dwelling, herbivorous rodents in South and Central America. It is the only genus in the family Cuniculidae. Pacas are large rodents with dots and stripes on their sides, short ears, and barely visible tails. Pacas are eaten by people in Belize, where they are known as gibnut (and also, having been served to Queen Elizabeth II, as "the royal rat"). In the Amazon basin they are known as majás. In Guyanese English they are known as labba, from the Lokono language. In Trinidad they are known as lappe and are highly prized as game animals, the cooked meat being considered quite a delicacy among wildmeat enthusiasts.
