What Is This Animal Called? by saintcasmir(op): 8:53am On Nov 18, 2025
Someone brought these two animals to us this morning. I offered to buy them at 30k, but he insisted on 35k. Though after much talk, he collected 32k.

As usual, you can be my guest for pepper soup night 😜

It's a Cane rat, which one be "grass cutter" again, Nigerians and nonsense local names
On another note it actually looks like porcupine cos the image isn't clear enough

Buying 2 cane rats for 32k dey expensive sha,
Re: What Is This Animal Called? by brain54(m): 11:46am On Nov 18, 2025
And who told you it's a local name...?

It's called the African grasscutter or cane rat( thryonomys swinderianus)

And even if it's a local name what's wrong in that? Because it's local name then it's nonsense?

Colonialism really affected a lot of people till date!

If you know what you are doing you will know it can't be a porcupine because of the shape of the mouth and porcupines are popular for having spikes. And somewhat roundish.

Even if the picture isn't clear it doesn't look anything like a porcupine!
Re: What Is This Animal Called? by brain54(m): 11:58am On Nov 18, 2025
Local names are...

Yoruba Ekpili or okpili.

Igbo Nchi or osi

Hausa Afin.

Make Una dey use una akunuche for this NL!

A dead grasscutter is different from a living one...?
