*** About Porcupines: Porcupines are large rodents with coats of sharp spines, or quills, that protect them against predators. These quills can be released upon contact with an enemy and can regrow over time. Porcupines are predominantly nocturnal and solitary, primarily feeding on leaves, herbs, twigs, and green plants. In the wild, porcupines are skilled climbers and often shelter in the hollows of trees or dens along rocky outcrops. Despite their spiky defense mechanism, porcupines exhibit a gentle and shy nature when not threatened. Their unique form and behavior continue to intrigue and inspire wildlife enthusiasts around the world.
