Rodent of Central and South America valued for its meat (6)

I believe the answer is:

agouti

(Other definitions for agouti that I've seen before include "Large rodent" , "Caribbean rodent" , "S.Amer. rodent" , "Long-legged rabbit-sized rodent on Central and South America" , "Creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
