QUICK READ ABOUT Prehensile Tailed Porcupine

The prehensile-tailed porcupines or coendous (genus Coendou) are found in Central and South America.^[2] Two other formerly recognized Neotropical tree porcupine genera, Echinoprocta^[3] and Sphiggurus,^[4] have been subsumed into Coendou, since Sphiggurus was shown by genetic studies to be polyphyletic, while Echinoprocta nested within Coendou

Among the most notable features of Coendou porcupines are their unspined prehensile tails. The front and hind feet are also modified for grasping. These limbs all contribute to making this animal an adept climber, an adaptation to living most of their lives in trees.^[6]

They feed on leaves, shoots, fruits, bark, roots, and buds. They can be pests of plantation crops.^[6] They also make a distinctive “baby-like” sound to communicate in the wild.

Their young are born with soft hair that hardens to quills with age. Adults are slow-moving and will roll into a ball when threatened and on the ground. The record longevity is 27 years
