Porcupine

The only time I’ve ever seen one of these in the wild, I had to keep hold of a 95 pound dog who was desperate to make its acquaintance.  I enjoyed seeing it in the tree at the zoo much more.

We alerted the keeper when we saw this orangutan digging out the window caulking with a stick.  The keeper told us that the orangutan liked to chew the silicon, and they just re-caulked the window when necessary.
