Potto

Pottos resemble something that would be in the small bear family, even though they are primates. The adorable and nocturnal creatures are found in the jungles of Africa, and they feed on tree sap, fruit, and smaller animals. They move rather slowly, so they may be seen as easy prey.

Pottos have an unusual way of defending themselves. They have enlarged spines on their vertebrae, which can protrude from both the neck and the shoulders, and these spines have very pointy tips. The “neck-butting” move is kind of like a shield as it warns its enemies to back off and can also make it harder for the primate to be swallowed.
