Porcupine
The porcupine is the prickliest of rodents, though its Latin name means
"quill pig." There are about two dozen porcupine species, and all boast a
coat of needle-like quills to give predators a sharp reminder that this
animal is no easy meal. Some quills, like those of Africa's crested
porcupine, are nearly a foot (30 centimeters) long.
