It was last seen in 1930. The Huitias are heavily-built guinea pig-like rodents with broad rounded heads. The have relatively small eyes and short rounded ears. The average tail and body length of this Hutia is unknown. Some Hutias have prehensile tails, meaning they are able to use them for gripping and climbing.
