The prehensile-tailed porcupine, also known as the Coendou, is a small mammal native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. It possesses an endearing combination of traits that make it truly fascinating. With a compact body covered in a coat of sharp, needle-like quills, this porcupine boasts an exceptional defense mechanism against predators. However, don't let its spiky exterior fool you; beneath those quills lies a gentle and charming personality. What sets the prehensile-tailed porcupine apart is its remarkable tail.

In today's puzzle we're by the water's edge taking in the view along side some beautiful and playful gulls. Seagulls are adaptable birds commonly found near coastlines, though they also inhabit inland areas near bodies of water. They have a distinctive white or gray plumage, long wings, and webbed feet, well-suited for swimming and walking on beaches. Their diet is diverse, consisting of fish, crustaceans, insects, and small mammals, with opportunistic scavenging being a notable behavior, especially around human settlements like beaches and fishing harbors. While they're not typically aggressive towards humans, they can become quite bold in their quest for food, sometimes snatching it from unsuspecting people. Seagulls are highly social birds and are frequently observed in large flocks, especially during the breeding season and when foraging for food. Overall, seagulls play an important role in coastal ecosystems as scavengers and are a familiar sight and sound for those who live near the sea.
