La fara or whatever you call it.




The last time we were in Cucuta, we saw the animal that is by the white door (click to make bigger) running along the wall. We first thought it was a huge rat, but with longer legs. We asked the hotel employees what it was, and they said it was a fara, or foro or more names. We tried all kinds of ways to spell it to find it in the internet, but with no success. We were told some people eat these animals, and that they taste like chicken. What doesn't taste like chicken?
