Sphiggurus mexicanus
Small 'furry' creature'. brown. white spines growing from it head and smaller outgrowths from it back.
broad leaf forest, ripirain
this is the only individual I have seen in the wild, spotted once though i heard stories in villages. a rare mammal for me as i have only been lucky once and fed it a piece of banana and a skin [btw, this is not a foto of mine but i still shared it becaz it's the only spotting i got from this species]
I wonder if it is a juvenile, having only spines on the head. Definitely a prehensile tail porcupine though.
