## Caption

Did you know DZCA is home to two different porcupine species? Cape porcupines hail from Africa and are among the largest rodents on Earth, while prehensile-tailed porcupines are native to South America and use their tails to grip and climb. 

Meet our prickly residents: 
Pins & Pie, our Cape porcupines hanging out in Primate Panorama 
Lucy, our prehensile-tailed porcupine and Animal Ambassador 

Come check them out on your next visit! 🦔
