My favorite animal is a porcupine for a lot of reasons, one is that they have pointy spikes that protect them because if you touch or if your a animal bite them the will poke you, somtimes they can get stuck in your skin.The spikes are about 7 cm long.You can find porcupines in Asia, Europe, parts of Africa, and both North and South America. They mostly eat roots, stems, and berries. The only place you can touch them is on there stomic.
porcupines are actully not endagerd they are less of a councern then most animals.There are 30 different species of porcupines.when porcupine babys are born there spikes are not sharp they are first soft then they get hard and potey.new born porcupines pups weigh around 450 g and are about 25 cm. There predortors are owls, wolvse, and Eagles.
That is why porcupines are my favorite animal I wish I could have it as a pet but I dont think that is a good idea because the spikes would get stuck on me. Is your favorite animal a porcupine if not what is?
