Rico the Brazilian prehensile-tailed porcupine. Large curved claws, bare soles, and a prehensile tail make these porcupines excellent climbers. Their muscular tail is nearly as long as their body and essentially acts as a fifth limb. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Happy 19th birthday to our prehensile-tailed porcupine, Felix! 🥳 Here he is eating some corn. 🌽 You can find him inside the Rare Animal Conservation Center at the Zoo. This species uses their tail as a fifth hand that helps them hold on to branches as they climb. | Philadelphia Zoo

Hanging out with a prehensile tailed porcupine!! This is such a cool species, I’ve actually seen a few in the wild, they’re so neat! As the name implies, the tail is prehensile and they use it like a fifth limb when climbing up in trees foraging for leaves, fruit, bark, and flowers to eat. Thanks for letting us meet him @xtreme_wildlife_foundation #Educational #AnimalEducation #EducationalVideo #Animal #Porcupine #PrehensileTailedPorcupine

Biscuit Steals the Show (and Steve’s Neck!) Rehearsals at Longleat just hit next level when Steve Backshall was explaining what a prehensile tail is… and Biscuit, ever the star, wrapped his tail perfectly around Steve’s neck on cue — all while perched coolly on his shoulder!We’re not saying Biscuit reads the script… but we are saying he might be the smartest binturong in showbiz. Huge thanks to Steve and the Longleat team — today was wild, educational, and a whole lot of fun! Steve Backshall Lon
