This is a rare porcupine to see I was told by a guide at Canopy Tower. They apparently only see two porcupines like this one per year. The Rothschild's porcupine is in the family of new world porcupines. The spines on its back are loosely attached to its skin. They have barbs on these spines so they are easily protected. They are very small and an interesting thing to see. I hiked up a hill off the path and into the jungle to get these shots even though there can be snakes and other things I was careful and in the end it was worth it.
