Both the snail shell and porcupine quills serve as protective structures for the animals they belong to. The snail shell provides a hard, external barrier that shields the soft body of the snail from predators and environmental hazards. Similarly, porcupine quills are sharp and can deter potential threats by making the porcupine less palatable. Both adaptations illustrate how different species have evolved unique physical features for defense.
