All porcupines have long claws. These claws help them climb on both large tree trunks and surprisingly small branches. The palms and soles of porcupines have a pebbly surface and no fur.

Because they are so good at gripping trees, porcupines can even stay in trees using only their hind feet to hold on. This frees their forelimbs for use in eating. . . 🎥: Emma Zayon | Alaska Wildlife Con

Did you know porcupines like to climb trees? This is my third time seeing one in a tree. Here’s a big one way up high in a very tall tree today. Apologies for the poor quality, but I had to zoom in so much because he was so high up. #porcupines #porcupine #ontariowildlife #wildlife #woodlandanimals | Sarah Chisholm Photography

Our two porcupines at the sanctuary! Little Dude the African crested porcupine and Prickles the prehensile tailed porcupine! The African crested porcupine is a large, ground dwelling rodent native to Africa, covered in long, sharp quills that can reach over a foot in length and raised into a crest when threatened.
