Let's show how creative you are:- Drawing - Porcupine

Compliment of the season fellow steemians. How are you today I hope you are fine as I am. I appreciate @benton3 for organising and sustaining this contest. Today I have also drawn a porcupine and want to show you the step by step process of how I make the drawing.

Have you ever seen one?
Porcupine is an animal that is small in size and has quills all over its body. It has a small head and four legs, like a rat. It uses its quills for protection. I have ever seen a porcupine but it has been a while since I saw it. They are herbivores in nature and feed on buds, leaves, roots, tubers, grass, berries, fruit etc.

Is it edible in your locality?
Yes, Porcupine is edible in my locality. I have once eaten a porcupine. The meat is good and proteinous. We refer to it as bush meat.

What are its characteristics

• porcupine is a slow-moving animal
• It has a quill around its back, which it uses for protection.
• It's like keeping to itself
• It can climb trees

What is it unique?
The animal is unique to me because it can swim and the presence of quills for protection from predators.
