Looks like a rat to me! I'll keep my eye out in hopes of seeing one. The year and a half I've been here, I've seen about half a dozen small lizards, several iguanas, and 2 rats. I think the Colombians ate everything else.

Have been perplexed by the lack of wildlife I have seen ( not seen) in areas outside of Medellin , I did see a dead rat next to McDonalds on AV Poblado and ran over a snake on my moto close to Parque Salado , I see more wildlife in my back yard in Orlando than I have seen anywhere in Colombia

Maybe it's the food chain, because of all the insects in Florida. Here you have lots of wild tropical fruit, wonderful grazing lands, a moderate climate, and no animals. I do know there's possums, and I saw an armadillo shell. But you'd think while on the backroads out of Medellin you'd see evidence, like dead animals killed on the roads, etc. Oh, yeah, I have seen some bats in El Carmen, one squirrel in El Pabado. No shortage of tropical birds though, I seen parrots, love birds, and a few free flying Macaw's. Might have to go to the wilder areas like the Amazon to see a critter or two.

To see dead animals on the road you have to go out in the middle of the night at around 2 am, otherwise they are immediately scooped up and cooking in a pot before most even wake up. Probably most end up at Crepes and Waffles, that's why they drown everything in so much sauce.

Thinking they could be trying to drown the unsavory taste of an old dead horse.
