Porcupines are animals that appear in The Lion King franchise.
Information[]
One of the largest rodents in the world, the African crested porcupine weighs between thirteen to twenty-seven kilograms and is about sixty to eighty-three centimeters in length. The body is covered with dark brown bristles, and the animal itself is recognizable because of its quills, which form a crest when raised. These quills mix with lighter banded quills that are not as attached, and its tail also has quills that rattle when vibrated. Crested porcupines are found from Italy to Africa; it doesn't really climb trees, but is nocturnal and can swim. If provoked, the porcupine will use its quills for defense, stabbing its enemy - it has been known to kill big cats, hyenas, and even humans.
The Malayan porcupine ranges throughout south and southeast Asia, found in small groups in forest habitats. They inhabit dens or dig out burrows, and females give birth to two litters annually. It is large and stout, covered in rigid quills. Their legs are short and have four claws on the front and five on the hind legs; both legs have smooth soles. Malayan porcupines are herbivorous and are listed as a species of Least Concern by the IUCN Red List.
