Only animals with strong teeth, such as the collared peccary, the agouti, and the paca have access to this food source. |
The paca is heavy and corpulent, but swims and dives with remarkable agility. |
The forests on both Trinidad and Tobago are hunting grounds for small game, the most-sought-after being the paca, or lappe. |
The bush dog released the captured paca after failing to maneuver itself into a position where it could reach its throat. |
It cannot be swallowed whole, but some animals, such as the paca or the peccary, are able to open the seed with their teeth. |
The paca, by-the-by, was roasted, and preferred to the ducks. |
