Porcupine

A porcupine has a lot of long and sharp spines covering its back, flanks and even its tail.

The spines are needed for protection against enemies. To frighten an enemy, the porcupine turns its tail to the last and raises the spines. If the enemy is not frightened the porcupine rushes to meet the enemy with raised spines.

The porcupines eat and are in the fresh air at night. They eat vegetable food.
