This was another new species for me on my recent trip to Peru — the bicolored-spined porcupine. Not much online about these guys. I suppose they have spines and they’re bicolored, which appears to check out. They are strictly nocturnal and arboreal, living almost entirely in trees.

Great capture of another unique species, Sean! With your latest trip to Peru, you certainly have added to your ever-growing visual library of specialized species. Nicely done!
BTW, this is slightly off-topic, but last night we watched Nat Geo’s America’s National Parks series, this time on Lake Clark. I thought of you & can understand why it draws you northward bound from time to time! What an incredible place for incredible wildlife photographers.

It’s great to see an animal that doesn’t have a big online footprint. Every giraffe I know spends like seven hours a day on TikTok.
