Porcupines have quills, which are modified hairs, as a defense mechanism against predators. These sharp spines are difficult to remove once embedded in the skin, providing effective protection.

This adaptation helps porcupines survive in the wild despite their relatively slow movement and lack of other defensive capabilities.
