Chapter 682 (2/2)

In order to restore the wild environment of porcupine, it is like a rural soil slope. In addition to grassland and sparse gravel, it is paved with some fallen leaves, large rocks, and some tree trunks and dead branches as shelter.

Porcupine's activity ability is not as strong as red fox, so it doesn't use glass curtain wall, but stone fence as barrier.

In the playground, several porcupines gathered together, some sniffed on the ground and looked for food, and some lay on the lawn, quietly lying on the ground in the sun and bathed in the sun. They looked very docile.

Porcupine is a social animal. Only one will be lonely, so it is also raised in groups.

Black body, black and white on the back, long spikes like arrows, which are higher than the body.

The thorns on the head and neck should be thinner. It looks like a gray brush. It wobbles when walking.

”What is this, Hedgehog?”

”Porcupines, porcupines don't know!”

”I haven't seen it!”

”My understanding of porcupine comes from the story of porcupine heating. The thorns will pierce each other, so we should keep a short distance.”

”It looks a bit like a hedgehog, but the thorn is so long!”

There are indeed many tourists who call this hedgehog! It's common to call mixed animal names.

Fang ye said, ”this is a Malay porcupine, a common animal in southern China!

Although covered with thorns, and hedgehogs are nocturnal animals, they have nothing to do with them. Porcupines are genuine rodents, which are closely related to squirrels and mice!

As for why pigs are called, the name is derived from the The Classic of the Great Wilderness, which describes ”it is like a dolphin and white, and the hair is as black as a black end. It is called” Hao * ”, that is, the meaning of a pig with a thorn.

”No problem, hippo is not a horse!”

Although porcupine is an ordinary local animal, it is also very attractive.

The most eye-catching thing is the long hard thorn behind it!

Watching the porcupine walking and foraging, some netizens couldn't help asking, ”by the way, the garden master, I forgot where I saw it. The porcupine's thorn can be shot out like a concealed weapon. Is this true?”

Fang ye said with a smile: ”you may have been affected by the cartoon! In fact, it's not. The porcupine's thorn is just hardened hair, growing in the hair follicle, and there is no muscle tissue around the hair follicle that can let the thorn launch, so it can't be launched.

Its sting is a passive defense weapon, hard and sharp. Because of the structure, it is easy to fall off once it hits the object, and there is a barb on it.

These thorns usually cover the body. Once the porcupine is afraid or angry with the enemy, it will quickly erect the thorns.

These thorns are hollow. The thorns on the tail are like a bunch of cut thorns tied together. When shaking, they will collide with each other and give a ”click click” warning sound, which is equivalent to the role of rattlesnake tail. You can pay attention to it!

When the threat doesn't work, the porcupine will turn its back and hips towards the enemy, back up and take the initiative to hit it. If a predator wants to attack them, it will be stabbed. The stabbed porcupine will enter the attacker's body, which will sink deeper and deeper, bring great pain to the injured, and the wound will be further infected.

So most carnivores are well aware of the power of porcupines and will never easily offend them. Some don't know the depth, or they are too hungry to attack porcupines. Even if they can kill porcupines, they will be stabbed and covered with thorns. It may be the last meal. ”

”Wow, great!”

”This thing is equivalent to a dragon turtle wearing thorn armor! Beating me is equal to beating myself.”

”Because I'm too afraid of pain, I have all my defense” dog head ”

”I saw a documentary about a leopard preying on a porcupine. I finally ate it, but I was stabbed on my mouth and claws, and the blood kept flowing down. It was terrible. It seemed that the stab finally stabbed into my heart and died, but I was so badly injured on my claws that I couldn't run quickly.”
