Solenodonte
A very rare critter found only in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It looks like a mouse but with a pointier snout (it supposedly looks like it loves to drink). It was discovered by some guy named Brandt in 1833 (had to be a damn gringo!). This thing only comes out at night (proving it is an authentic Dominican). (Note: Pajarito is used here to mean critter, though the animal is actually a rare nocturnal mammal. UASD refers to the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo).
In a bathroom at the UASD in Santo Domingo: A: Whoa! A Solenodonte! B: A soleno-WHAT! Man, run, that thing looks like a Chupacabra! A: Damn, find me a stick to kill this damn pest.
