Porcupines' quills serve as a defense mechanism against predators. When threatened, they can detach easily, embedding in the skin of attackers and causing pain and injury. This deterring feature helps porcupines avoid predation, allowing them to survive in the wild. Additionally, the quills are barbed, making them difficult to remove once embedded, further enhancing their protective role.
