Porcupines primarily inhabit forests, grasslands, and areas with dense vegetation. They are nocturnal herbivores, feeding on a variety of plant materials, including leaves, bark, and fruits. In their environment, they coexist with various other species, such as deer, rabbits, and birds, and their presence influences the local ecosystem by contributing to plant growth through their feeding habits. Predators such as coyotes and bobcats may also inhabit the same areas, though porcupines have a unique defense mechanism with their quills to deter them.
