What An Interesting Photo Captured By The Camera T..

What an interesting photo captured by the camera trap. A spiky animal, the thick-spined porcupine (Hystrix crassispinis), eating a spiky fruit, the durian. 😆

Many people think that porcupines are dangerous because they can shoot their quills like arrows. 🏹 The truth is that they cannot shoot their quills at all.

When it feels threatened, it will naturally defend itself. 😠 Thick-spined porcupines protect themselves by erecting their quills and swinging their spiny tails to scare off potential threats. This also makes them look much bigger! If you annoy them too much, they might even charge (backside first) at you. 😉
