RODENTS

INDIAN PORCUPINE (Hystrix indica)

The Indian porcupine is mainly nocturnal and is therefore not often seen. Adults can grow to 90 cm and weigh over 18 kg. Long sharp bristles and a profuse armory of spines and quills on its back and tail make this large rodent no easy prey. To warn potential predators, the white, open-ended tail quills produce a rattling sound when shaken. Those on the back are black, brown and white striped. They are extremely sharp and easily removed as they are a form of modified hair. A resident of sal forest and grasslands, the porcupine lives in burrows which it usually excavates near streams and ravines.
