Hi. What is this animal, you might think. Well, it's a degu(de-goo). Their scientific name is Otogon-degu. Like most rodents, you can keep them as a pet. In the wild, they live from 2-4 years, but in captivity they live from 6-8 years. And thats only if you keep them with care. Some times they live to 9 years which is equal to 120 in human years. It's possible, but very rare.
Why Degus are great pets
