Air conditioning: it stings current Amazonian native (7)

I believe the answer is:

acouchi

'amazonian native' is the definition.
(rodent native to the Amazon rainforest)

'air conditioning it stings current' is the wordplay.
'air conditioning' becomes 'AC'.
'it stings' becomes 'ouch' (both might be said when in pain).
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'ac'+'ouch'+'i'='ACOUCHI'

(Another definition for acouchi that I've seen is " Small rodent".)
