Stump-tailed porcupines are a particular species of rodent of the family Erethizontidae. It's mostly indigenous to Colombia, but a few records show they may also live in Ecuador.
There are two main families of porcupine: Erethizontidae is one and Hystricidae is the other. The two families are not closely related. The Erethizon dorsatum is an example of the new world porcupine: the North American porcupine. The Hystrix africaeaustralis and Hystrix cristata are examples of the old world porcupine - both are native to Africa.
Porcupines have been on the planet for millions of years, with their ancestors dating back to around 35 million years ago. The modern porcupine species we recognize today evolved more recently, approximately 10-15 million years ago. They belong to the family Erethizontidae in the order Rodentia, showcasing a long evolutionary history.
Porcupines belong to the family Erethizontidae, with the most common species being the North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum). They are known for their distinctive quills, which are modified hairs that provide protection from predators. Porcupines are primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, bark, and fruits, and are mainly nocturnal creatures. They are found in various habitats across North America, including forests, grasslands, and deserts.
