Rico “hangin out” and then scooching back up onto his climbing leaf. Spending most of its time in the canopy, the Brazilian porcupine is an expert climber. Large curved claws, bare soles and a prehensile tail help the large rodent grip branches as it moves through the trees. The muscular tail is nearly as long as the body and essentially acts as a fifth limb. #porcupine #rico #animals #cincinnatizoo #cuteanimals
