Coendou
Coendous, also known as porcupine, are cute, spiky animals that love to climb trees. They have long quills that help protect them from predators and are mostly nocturnal, which means they are active at night.
Hábitat: Forests
The Coendou is covered in dense, short, yellowish-brown quills that stand upright when threatened. It has a rounded head, small eyes, and a distinctive bare, muscular prehensile tail that is used for grasping branches. This tail sets it apart from many other porcupines.
