Spiny Mice in a Tree

I found this on flickr. The caption says "This is a Cairo Spiny Mouse. Left to its own desires it congregates in stupid huge numbers together in a tree."

Cool.

Spiny Mouse

This is a picture of a spiny mouse. They get their name from the hairs on their back which are kinda like hedgehog spines. I have a pet spiny mouse, who looks almost exactly like this. I would take more pictures of him, but sitting still is not one of his strong points.
