Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Jamaican Hutia uses a semiplantigrade waddling gait, with terrestrial locomotion and abilities to jump between rocks and over crevices of karst habitats. Jamaican Hutias live in groups of 2-10 individuals. These groups are usually familial units that live communally in cavities or crevices; size of resting site 1s one factor determining group size. Most harvested individuals are singletons or pairs, probably dispersers from natal family groups and likely using nesting sites more accessible to hunters. Jamaican Hutias do not build or dig nests and resting sites; they use natural cavities or crevices. Familial groups always stay in contact during the day and come back to the same site each night. Social behaviors include cohesive contact during foraging, continuous vocalization among individuals, playing, and affiliative grooming.
