What do African Porcupines look like:

African porcupines are one of the largest rodents in Africa, with some reaching lengths of over two feet. One of the most distinctive features is their coat of sharp quills. These quills are modified hairs that cover the animal’s back and sides. When threatened, the porcupine raises its quills to make itself look more frightening.

African porcupines are found in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and rocky areas. These creatures are very adaptable to many environments. They are also known to inhabit regions near places populated by humans. When hunting African Porcupine, we often find them in agriculture fields.
