Prehensile-tailed porcupine - Nashville Zoo

Prehensile-tailed porcupine - Nashville, TN

Charlie is a Prehensile-Tailed Porcupine at the Nashville Zoo. Charlie is not on exhibit but is instead used in shows and tours.

The Prehensile tail means that it is able to grab with the tail. In mammals, is it rare for a species to have this and not be a primate.
