Amazonian Long-tailed Porcupine

Aucune description en français n’est encore disponible.

The prehensile-tailed porcupines or coendous (genus Coendou) are found in Central and South America. Two other formerly recognized Neotropical tree porcupine genera, Echinoprocta and Sphiggurus, have been subsumed into Coendou, since Sphiggurus was shown by genetic studies to be polyphyletic, while Echinoprocta nested within Coendou. Characteristics Among the most notable features of Coendou porcupines are their unspined prehensile tails.
