Porcupine Fights With Snake:

A porcupine's body is covered with sharp quills which it uses as its defence mechanism. These quills also contain antibiotic properties. he quills from the porcupine can pierce through a snake's digestive tract and causing it to die. The North American porcupine has about 30,000 quills on it. They fall when touched with hands.

These quills lie flat until a porcupine is threatened, the raise when the rodent knows of a possible situation around it. Porcupines cannot shoot at predators they scatter it from their body for defence. Many animals have been spotted with quills on their bodies. Quills have sharp tips and scales or bards which make them difficult to remove when stuck in an animal's skin. They also grow new quills after losing the old ones.
