Porcupines are rodents with a coat of sharp spines, or quills, that protect against predators. The term covers two families of animals, the Old World porcupines and New World porcupines. Both families belong to the Hystricognathi branch of the vast order Rodentia and display similar coats of quills, but they still are quite different and are not closely related.
The Old World porcupines live in southern Europe, Asia (western as well as southern), and most of Africa. They are large, terrestrial, and strictly nocturnal. In taxonomic terms, they form the family Hystricidae.
The New World porcupines are indigenous to North America and northern South America. They live in wooded areas and can climb trees, where some species spend their entire lives. They are less strictly nocturnal than their Old World relatives, and generally smaller. In taxonomic terms, they form the family Erethizontidae.
Porcupines are the third-largest of the rodents, behind the capybara and the beaver. Most porcupines are about 25–36in (64–91cm) long, with an 8–10in (20–25cm) long tail. Weighing 12–35lb (5.4–15.9kg), they are rounded, large, and slow. Porcupines occur in various shades of brown, gray, and white. Porcupines' spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated erinaceomorphhedgehogs and Australian spiny anteaters or monotremeechidnas.
Alexander Gentry was originally a scientist who worked as a weapons designer for the United States Army. He conceived the idea of designing a battle-suit in imitation of a porcupine: it would be covered with quill-like projections for defense. Moreover, it would be able to shoot its quills, or gases, flames, chemicals, paralysis-inducing pellets, or weapons from quill-like tubes, at an opponent. Gentry spends months working overtime to create his porcupine battle-suit. He is proud of his achievement when the suit was finished, and believes his invention is worth a fortune. Yet Gentry also believes that the government would pay him, one of its employees, virtually nothing for his creation. Angrily, Gentry decides to keep the porcupine battle-suit and to use it to become wealthy through crime. Thus Gentry became the Porcupine, one of the first costumed professional criminals of his generation.
A wrong (from Old Englishwrang – crooked) is an act that is illegal or immoral.Legal wrongs are usually quite clearly defined in law of each state or jurisdiction. They can be divided into civil wrongs and crimes (or criminal offences) in common law countries, while civil law countries tend to have some additional categories, such as contraventions.
Moral wrong is an underlying concept for legal wrong, and some moral wrongs are punishable by law, for example rape or murder. Other moral wrongs have nothing to do with law. On the other hand, some legal wrongs, such as parking offences, could hardly be classified as moral wrongs.
Legal wrong
In law, a wrong can be a legal injury, which is any damage resulting from a violation of a legal right. It can also imply the state of being contrary to the principles of justice or law. It means that something is contrary to conscience or morality and results in treating others unjustly. If the loss caused by a wrong is minor enough, there is no compensation, which principle is known as de minimis non curat lex. Otherwise, damages apply.
"Wrong" is a song written and recorded by British group Everything but the Girl. It was released in June 1996 as the second single from their album, Walking Wounded. A club remix of the song provided by Todd Terry went to number-one on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. The remix also reached number 8 in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Hungry Leopard Gets Defeated By Prickly Porcupine
ID: 3451997
ONSCREEN CREDIT - MARIETTE LANDMAN
This hungry leopard had no choice but to admit defeat after picking a fight with a prickly porcupine.
The predator was spotted stalking the spiky rodent, before taking a swipe at the prickly customer and quickly regretting his decision.
The bizarre battle, which lasted an hour and half, saw the determined leopard take several breaks to remove quills from his paws and lick his wounds, while the brave porcupine stuck around as if to tease his opponent.
Eventually the leopard admitted defeat and the pair slinked away together, appearing to call a truce.

Porcupines have around 30K quills, with barbs at the tips that make them difficult to remove. 🌵🐖💺
Fun fact: Porcupines are covered in around thirty-thousand quills. Each quill has barbs at the tips that make them difficult to remove. 🌵🐖💺

Be Honest, Did You Think This About Porcupines?🪡🐷
Be honest, did you think they could shoot their quills 😏🪡
One of the most common misconceptions about porcupines is that they can shoot their quills at predators. However, this is not the case. Porcupines can only release their quills when they feel threatened and when they are touched. But this misconception is not all bad, as it can actually lead to a greater level of caution and respect for these fascinating animals. If people believe that porcupines can shoot their quills, they may be less likely to get too close and potentially harm the porcupine or themselves. 🦔🌳🌲🌴
