http://www.discoverynews.com Nature's pincushion, porcupines can make anyone a little nervous. But at the Smithsonian's National Zoo, Jorge Ribas meets Clark, the Prehensile-tailed Porcupine, who's more interested in snacking then sticking anyone with his quills.
There is nothing more than a tangled jungle, lianas and branches or trunks have been used by many species by way of suspension bridges, zip lines and platforms.
Discover how different species have been able to develop large and different ways of mobility and hunting.
The animals came to it by force of evolution, we, as it forces our brain, we should learn it and did it as many times staring at nature.

This evening I gave the camels some carrots. Watch Nessie eat them with her amazing prehensile lips. Prehensile means an appendage that can be used to grasp something. Monkeys also have a prehensile appendage- their tails! They use them to hold branches, just like a camel uses its' lips to hold objects. So cool!

Prehensile Manatee Lips
So many incredible and memorable moments during our Springs and Manatee adventure. On our final day, our group was mesmerized watching the prehensile lips and fleshy region of a manatee known as the oral disc.
Slowing down the video, you can see the stiff thick bristles edging either side of the mouth that actually help grab vegetation moving it towards the mouth. To my knowledge, no other mammal uses stiff whiskers in a prehensile manner. Highly sensitive, these thick whiskers as well as the 3000 tactile hairs that cover their tough hide aid manatees as they explore a murky world. Super cool!
