Head—body 380-570 mm, tail 160-195 mm, ear 33-42 mm, hindfoot 68-80 mm; weight 1-5—4-3 kg. The Asiatic Brush-tailed Porcupine is small to medium-sized, with long,scaly tail that ends in brush of white bristles more than 200 mm in length. Body is dark brown above and covered with short, rigid, flattened, whitishtipped spines, not unlike those on a hedgehog. Neck, shoulders, and undersurface of body are covered with soft flattened spines. Spines of lumbar region are longer than others and mixed with a few long white bristles. Spines are grooved. Largest spines in a study skin are 1-2-2-2 mm thick and 1-8-3 mm wide. There is subtle to more distinct pattern of light and dark longitudinal stripes along back and sides of adults. Dorsal color varies due to different frequencies of visible white parts of spines and tactile bristles on body. Chin, throat, and chest between forelegs are whitish. Ventral color varies among individuals; some are mostly white on belly, and others range toward light brown and carry spines with pale brown midsections and whitish tips. The Asiatic Brush-tailed Porcupine does not have a crest on its head. Nasal bones are narrow and short, less than 30% of greatest skull length, and preorbital fossa is smaller than temporal fossa. Molars are completely rooted, and upperincisors are orange and nongrooved. Onfeet, pollux is vestigial, and hallux is clawed. There are 2-3 pairs oflaterally placed mammae. Diploid number is 2n = 54. Tail of the Asiatic Brush-tailed Porcupine is perhaps the most notable aspect ofits appearance. It is brown and scaly and spineless for the first one-third ofits length, and it ends in brush of quills shaped like strings of beads that rattle when shaken; sometimestail is broken off. Tails are 25-50% of head-body length and covered with scales, interspersed with spiny bristles. It ends in a cluster ofalternately expanded and contracted papery bristle hairs, termed “platelet bristles,” that is 80-100 mm in length. Each has 2-6 expansions or “beads” that are 1-3 mm wide and 10-15 mm long. Lengths oflargest tail bristles are 50-130 mm. The Asiatic Brush-tailed Porcupine differs from the African Brush-tailed Porcupine (
