This Porcupine has more to it than just quills, it can use its tail to hang on to branches while it climbs. I photographed it at the Asa Wright Nature Center just a little ways down the trail from the main building.

Thanks Ali, I hope I get to see one again.
Very Amazing!
It was very nice and I feel fortunate to have seen it. Just wish I had my current photo equipment to get an even better shot:-)
amazing creature ! nice shot !
I wish we had seen one of these when we went...very jealous ;)
Love it!
Exotic and looks prehistoric.
Wow. That's exotic.
Mishall, that would be nice to see that tail in action!
awesome pic next time why dont you get it hanging.
Martin, that dog really got covered with quills in its nose! I'll keep a safe distance from porcupines.
Nice spottong Tom. Its curious that the tail curls backwards, that seems a bit clumsy. Oh, and I heard that they can be territorial http://saofranciscovet.nafoto.net/photo2...
