A baby prehensile-tailed porcupine.

It lives in the rainforests of most of South America - in the south its range reaches the borders of Argentina.
Instead of walking on the ground, hiding in burrows and eating roots and insects, like all ordinary porcupines, the tenacious tail prefers to live in trees, sleep in hollows, and eat fruits, leaves and bark.
