Brown Hairy Dwarf Porcupine (Coendou vestitus)

The Brown Hairy Dwarf Porcupine lives in the thick forests of Colombia. It prefers to avoid the forest floor. 

This porcupine has soft, long spines and a shorter tail than its relatives. The tail helps the porcupine navigate the tree branches, where it spends most of its time. 

Moreover, it comes out at night to search for food, including the leaves, fruits, and small branches of the Cecropia tree. 

When threatened, the porcupine fluffs up its quills to appear bigger and scarier, accompanied by whistles, grunts, and shrieks.
