Have you ever seen one

No, I have never seen a porcupine face to face and to see it face to face we have to go to the forest because these types of animals live mainly in the forest and their movement in populated areas is not very noticeable, so I have never .

Is it edible in your locality? .

No, these animals are not edible in our area. We and no one around us accept these types of animals as their food.

What are its characteristics and what makes it unique?

Porcupines are mammals that live in the forests of Africa, America, and the Southeast. Porcupines are nocturnal animals. They are active at night and gather food at night. They also have long, thick, and they have sharp quills that can easily be attacked by anyone if they come across them. If these quills burst or stick to someone's body, it becomes very difficult to remove them because they are very poisonous and they can have up to 30000 of them on the body of a porcupine. A porcupine can live for about five to seven years and some porcupines can live for more than 15 years. They mostly eat leaves, small insects, and fruits. Porcupines also make various sounds to attract the opposite sex so that they can attract others.
