Porcupines have strong tails they can use to shake quills at enemies. <ref> https://answersingenesis.org/kids/mammals/porcupine/ </ref> Some New World Porcupines (those of the genus Coendou) have long prehensile tails. <ref>https://www.uwsp.edu/biology/VertebrateCollection/Pages/Vertebrates/Mammals%20of%20Paraguay/Coendou%20prehensilis/Coendou%20prehensilis.aspx </ref> This poses an interesting problem. According to evolutionists, the tail evolved through [[Natural selection]]. However, this poses a few problems considering known science, most especially the lack of documented evolution of new information. <ref> https://creation.com/meta-information </ref> I propose that the prehensile tails of the ''Coendou'' New World Porcupines are in fact a textbook example of De-evolution and ''loss'' of information. For example, the part of their tail these porcupines grip with is spineless, which means that it must have ''lost'' the information to grow spines on that part of its tail. Not only that, but the long, comparatively nonspiny tail is far less useful to shake at predators than a normal porcupine one. | Porcupines have strong tails they can use to shake quills at enemies. <ref> https://answersingenesis.org/kids/mammals/porcupine/ </ref> Some New World Porcupines (those of the genus Coendou) have long prehensile tails. <ref>https://www.uwsp.edu/biology/VertebrateCollection/Pages/Vertebrates/Mammals%20of%20Paraguay/Coendou%20prehensilis/Coendou%20prehensilis.aspx </ref> This poses an interesting problem.
