Definition
A genus of spiny rats found in South America, rodents characterized by their spiny fur and prehensile tails.
Etymology
From Greek kerkos meaning 'tail' plus labes meaning 'seizure' or 'grasp,' referring to the gripping or prehensile nature of their tails.
Kelly Says
Cercolabes rats have prehensile tails they can use like a monkey's tail to grab branches, but they're rodents—so they're basically nature's attempt to make a rat that climbs like a monkey.
