In Sena Madureira, Acre, locals encountered a caninana snake and a porcupine inside their residences on the afternoon of the 23rd, leading them to contact the local firefighters for assistance. The caninana snake was found in the São Felipe neighborhood, while the porcupine was located in the Florentino Moreno neighborhood. Thankfully, none of the residents sustained injuries during this unexpected encounter with the wildlife. The caninana, known scientifically as Spilotes pullatus, is one of the largest snakes found in the Atlantic Forest. This non-venomous species is recognized for its agility in hunting birds, rodents, amphibians, and small mammals, contributing to its role in the local ecosystem. Despite its size, it poses no threat to humans, allowing for a relatively safe extraction process by the firefighters. On the other hand, the porcupine, belonging to the species Coendou prehensilis, primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, and bark, leading a largely arboreal lifestyle. Known for its defense mechanism, it can project its quills when threatened, making it crucial for local residents to remain cautious. Both incidents underscore the importance of wildlife conservation and the unexpected interactions that can occur between urban areas and native species.
