Information text: Porcupine

Porcupines are among the largest rodents in the world and are best known for their striking, long bristles. These serve as effective protection against predators and are loosely anchored in the skin, so they can easily come loose upon contact.

Several species of porcupine are found in Africa; they are predominantly nocturnal and feed on plants, roots, bark, and fruits. Porcupine quills have been used for centuries in crafts, jewelry making, and traditional art, and are particularly valued for their durability and natural appearance.
