	New World porcupine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New World porcupines are large terrestrial rodents, distinguished by their spiny covering from which they take their name.
		The porcupines are represented in the New World by the members of the family Erethizontidae, which have rooted molars, complete collar-bones, entire upper lips, tuberculated soles, no trace of a first front-toe, and four teats.
		They are less strictly nocturnal than Old World species in their habits, and some types live entirely in trees while others have dens on the ground, their long and powerful prehensile tails help them balance when they are in the tree tops.
