Porcupıne

Deserts, savannas, forests, mountains of Asia, Eastern Trans-Caucasus, Kazakhstan and India, Azerbaijan

Porcupines have soft quills at birth, which harden within a few days and can prick strongly. When irritated, the porcupine raises its quills and rattles the spines on its tail. If the disturbance continues, the species shoots its quills into the enemy, often leading to severe injury or death
