Can you give a scientific name for a scavenger which climbs, has tail spikes, stores oxygen in its cells?

Can you describe its appearance, its habitat, and the way its adaptations help it survive?

Erethizon dorsatum (the North American Porcupine). It is an opportunistic scavenger (e.g. will gnaw on bones), can climb, has tail spikes, and has hemoglobin to store oxygen in its cells. Now that you know the organism, the other questions shouldn't be too hard to answer.
