Spiked Lemur

Spiked lemurs (Echilemuridae) are a family of lemurs native throughout Eurasia, Africa, Australia, North America, and South America. The group is named for many of its species being covered in spines like hedgehogs and porcupines, which, depending on a species with spines, can either be detached like porcupine quills or stays on its body like hedgehog spines, but not all species have spines, few even have none. They are omnivores, with some being entirely insectivorous or herbivorous. All known species of spiked lemurs are listed as Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and many species tolerating much of human activities.
