The most recognizable feature of a porcupine is the layer of spines on its body. These spines are actually hard, sharp hairs that develop from the skin. (Photo: asiapata)

These are not ordinary quills, but rather a form of protective structure that helps hedgehogs deal with predators. When in danger, hedgehogs can curl their bodies into a ball of spikes, making it difficult for predators to approach or attack. (Photo: The Guardian)

Porcupines have compact bodies, round heads, and small mouths, which make it easy for them to forage for food underground. Although their bodies may appear soft and vulnerable, their hard spines make them a formidable opponent for larger predators. (Photo: ThienNhien.Net)

Hedgehog coloration varies depending on species and habitat. Typically, hedgehogs have a brown or gray back, while their bellies are lighter in color. Hedgehog spines are usually pale yellow, brown, or black, which helps them blend into their surroundings, creating effective camouflage. (Photo: NatureSpot)
