Porcupines are nocturnal rodents known for their sharp, protective quills, which they use to deter predators. Found in North and South America, Africa, and Asia, these herbivores primarily feed on bark, leaves, and fruits. The North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) is one of the most well-known species, often residing in forests and occasionally venturing into grasslands.
A porcupine's quills, which can number in the thousands, are actually modified hairs covered in keratin. Contrary to popular belief, porcupines cannot shoot their quills but will release them on contact. These quills serve as an effective defense mechanism against predators like wolves and coyotes. Despite their spiky appearance, porcupines are gentle creatures and play an essential role in their ecosystems by influencing vegetation growth and creating habitats for other species.
