Paraguaian hairy dwarf porcupine

The Paraguaian hairy dwarf porcupine, "Coendou spinosus", is a South American porcupine species from the family Erethizontidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
They have a short tail and gray brown quills and feed on fruits, ant pupae, vegetables and roots.
This species was formerly sometimes assigned to "Sphiggurus", a genus no longer recognized since genetic studies showed it to be polyphyletic. The population formerly recognized as the orange-spined hairy dwarf porcupine ("Sphiggurus villosus") has been reclassified to this species. Its closest relatives are the bicolored-spined porcupine ("Coendou bicolor") and the black dwarf porcupine ("Coendou nycthemera").
