Easily recognizable by its back bristling with long quills, the porcupine is a nocturnal rodent that lives in the forests, savannahs, and rocky regions of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Despite its impressive appearance, it is generally peaceful and prefers to flee rather than confront its predators.
Its quills, actually very hard, hollow hairs, are its main weapon of defense. Surprisingly, when threatened, the porcupine bristles its coat of quills, makes loud clicking noises, and may even throw out a few spines to deter its attackers. A herbivore, it feeds on roots, fruit, and bark, thus contributing to the balance of its ecosystem.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the porcupine: detailed quills, stocky silhouette and vigilant posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent amazing stories or educate children about the incredible defense strategies of the animal world.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world.
