Meet the Brazilian porcupine (Coendou prehensilis)! In addition to Brazil, you may spot it in the forests of Colombia and Argentina. This master climber has a prehensile tail, which it uses to cling to branches and navigate the forest canopy. Bark, fruit, roots, and leaves are among this herbivore’s favorite treats.
