Despite a commonly held be-lief, no porcupine can shoot its quills but can do a lot of dam-age by stabbing with them.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Characteristics:<\/h2>\n

The crested porcupine is a species of ro-dent with the entire body covered with dark brown bristles or quills. The quills are nor-mally flat pointing backwards measuring up to 33cm long. When danger threatens the porcupine raises and broadens them out to form a painfully protective barrier between itself and a predator. The quill tips have scales which act like fish hooks making them difficult and painful to dislodge.<\/p>\n<\/div>
