Learn more about African Crested Porcupine

-Spiky Defense: African crested porcupines have numerous quills that they use to protect themselves from predators.

-Nocturnal Creatures: These porcupines are mostly active at night, foraging for food under the cover of darkness.

-Diet: They are herbivores, feeding on roots, tubers, and bark, and they sometimes chew on bones for calcium.

-Unique Sound: When threatened, African crested porcupines can make a loud, sharp "clicking" sound with their teeth as a warning.

-Quill Power: Their quills are loosely attached, so if a predator gets too close, they easily detach and stick into the attacker, providing a strong defense mechanism.

-Social Animals: They are more social than other porcupine species, often living in small family groups or pairs.

-Large Size: African crested porcupines are one of the largest porcupine species, with some weighing up to 30 pounds (13.6 kg).

-Impressive Tail: Their tails are covered in sharp quills, which they can rattle to warn off predators.

-Strong Burrowers: These porcupines are great diggers, creating burrows for shelter and to store food.

-Long Lifespan: They can live up to 15 years in the wild, and even longer in captivity, where they are protected from predators.
