The two porcupines in the zoo are nocturnal. You have to come to the enclosure very early to see them active. The eponymous spines are transformed hair and serve self-defense. Particularly striking are the up to 40 cm long skewers. They are sharp, break easily and can cause severe inflammation in predators. Her pattern is typically black and white. When aroused, they are raised and particularly protect the abdomen. If the animal calms down again, they are laid flat against the back of the body again.
