This female Prehensile-tailed porcupine, or coendous, enjoys being pettet by her keeper at the Zoo in Frankurt/Main, Germany, 13 July 2010. The fur of the animal is replaced by thin and pointed needle-like stings that make for an effective protection from enemies, so touching the animal is not that easy in this case.
