Kemosabe's Tree Fort

Kemosabe in his Tree Fort at Animal Wonders
Facts about Kemo start at about 2:12
A prehensile porcupine aka coendou is from South America found in the rainforests of Brazil. They use their prehensile tail to help climb and maneuver in the trees where they spend most of their lives. They are rodents and are closely related to rats and mice. They have 2 large incisors on the top and bottom which are ever-growing and need to be chiseled against each other in order to keep them the right size. Kemosabe only has 1 top incisor so he needs help from a veterinarian to file his teeth so they don't overgrow and prevent him from being able to eat.

[@seagullhoonbirdpersonpilot5511]

@@majesticmagpie4108 sapient i think is the word, though im not 100% sure. even a dog or a pig has a higher level of sentience than a human as far as smelling goes. Sentience means only that one has senses and can percieve the universe. So lots of animals are probably going to be more sentient than us but its really hard to measure as that would seem to require using arbitrary values as the yardstick.

I'm dying from cuteness overload. Please give us more Kemosabe Videos, a Kemosabe webcam would be such a cool device! I simply can't stop watching him or his nothern fluffy cousins Teddy Bear and Snickers. He is sort of an Anti-Minion strikes me, because he also likes bananas and he even has a very related noise but he's simply not smooth and bulky, he represents the very opposite. *Beep* Had to smirk, but you're such a nasty girl. ;) The only tender part of his body and you are making your jokes on his costs. But everybody feels your feeling for him and the animals I guess and who could resist to chaff him that way. One sees that he trusts you and that he's not annoyed about.

A dog would think about pulling up the bucket, it just doesn't have the equipment to do that very easily.

You must never have had an intelligent dog. I used to train service dogs and it would be easy to teach a dog that if they had flexible thumb-pads like porcupines.

[@OfficiallyLydiasLife]

I have a Service dog and he could do that. However the rope would need to have a tie with a little handle so the dog could use his mouth, since they don't have the same hands as porcupines or thumbs. Just like to open the fridge, we tie a rope on it so they can pull it, since they don't have thumbs, u would just have to accommodate it so they could do it with how there body is structured.
