- IUCN: Octodon degus (Molina, 1782) (Least Concern)
- The Degu (Octodon degus) is a small, caviomorph rodent that is native to Chile. It is sometimes referred to as the Trumpet-tailed Rat (although not related to the rat family) and is also called the Common Degu, to distinguish it from the other members of the genus Octodon. Many people think that they are cute, though they are illegal in some places.
