The agouti is a short-tailed, plant-eating rodent that lives in rainforests of Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. There are about 13 different species of agouti. These fast-running animals live on the forest floor; when they sense danger, they freeze. These common mammals have a life span of 13 to 20 years. They mark their home territory using anal scent glands.

The Chicxulub Impact Crater. There are very few lakes or rivers - above ground - on the Yucatan Peninsula. The Peninsula is also essentially all limestone. The limestone shelf supports a rich stream of rivers and lakes on a limestone shelf. The Peninsula is also potmarked with sinkholes called cenotes. These sinkholes collapse into a water-filled cavern - nice, pure water filtered through all that limestone. The cenotes thus provided an important natural resource and Maya cities indeed were built around the cenotes which were also the center for religious ceremonies.

Remora (family Echeinidae) are small fish that live on and around sharks. They eat stray bits of food left by the shark and tiny shrimp-like parasites that live on the shark's skin. They have sucker-like disks on their heads with which they attach to the shark. Both the shark and the remora benefit from the pairing, but the remore benefits much more; this is commensalism. Remora are also known as sucker fish or shark sucker.
