    I fell in love with prehensile tailed porcupines the first time I heard one eating in a video. It literally sounded like it was saying "Om nom nom, oh my, oh my"!
    PS: I always love the tale of brave little caviomorph ancestors rafting their way across the Atlantic on clumps of debris. IMO, the Americas have some of the cutest rodents. In addition to Kemosabe's kinfolk, there are capybaras & maras & vizcachas & chinchillas & kangaroo rats & pocket mice & beavers & lemmings! SO adorable...

    Way too cute and the sound they make is adorable! Plus they are somewhat WTF in appearance.... but still uber cute.
    We have owned guinea pigs, and you wouldn't suspect that they were related. Our piggies were cute and silly and very, very squealy! One piggy was particularly squealy when he detected the crinkling sound of the bag of hay, and his squeal would hit the nitrous kit and go up to 11.

    Aren't African porcupines part of the ancestor/sister taxon to the caviomorphs of South America, though? Like the quills did evolve convergently, but they're still more related to one another than just both being rodents. They're both in the rodent infraorder Hystricognathi

      @SpaceFrog999 3 месяца назад

      The way a primate defends itself from attack and the way a rodent defends itself are fundamentally different, there was never a selective pressure for monkeys to become tough to bite from the outside because they already could get away from danger just fine with their opposable thumbs and intellect. It’s kinda similar to the reason people can’t grow wings, even though it would be nice to have wings, there is absolutely no benefit to our species in GRADUALLY evolving those wings, the half-evolved wing people would be wasting their energy growing crappy non functioning wings, just so that a few hundred million years later, their ancestors would have functioning wings, it’s just not how it works.
