Thick-spined Porcupines (Thecurus crassispinis)

12 May 2014

An endemic species to Borneo, and the first ones I had seen. They were unlabelled and housed with Squirrel Monkeys.

yes, I was very pleased and surprised to see them. First and only time I have seen this species. I was just lucky they were lying out in the open because there was no sign, so if they had been hidden I would have assumed the cage held only the squirrel monkeys.
