Porcupines

Porcupines are large, spine covered rodents that like a diet high in salt. Those in the Americas sometimes choose to live in trees, even though their distant relatives in Africa, Europe, and Asia prefer more grounded lifestyles. In the Order: rodent and Class: Rodentia, they need to gnaw constantly. Typical questions relate to the porcupine's uses of its quills, survival threats, preferred foods, interactions with people and wildlife, geographic ranges, and defensive behaviors.

What species is a newt?

Some people confuse newts and salamanders. Newts are, in fact, salamanders since they are in the family Salamandridae, but not all salamanders are newts. A newt has a long, slender body with a broad tail, and most species have moist, smooth skin. Some species are decorated with crests and ornamental gills, such as the European crested newts. Care should be taken when handling a newt, as most emit a mild toxin which can irritate mucus membranes. They may also carry bacteria found in their watery homes, much like other amphibians.

Are there porcupine's in Iraq?

Are there porcupine's in Iraq? Yes- The one's I have seen are black in color and the biggest I have seen is approximately 3 feet in length. I have yet to get a picture of one of them, cause they seem to be very defensive and will run from preditors at a moments notice. They seem to be somewhat fast and able to hide easily, especially at night. The times of day that I have seen porcupine's here in Iraq were twighlight hours and early morning. I don't know what they eat or where they stay, but my guess is they stay in the crevises of the rock walls. Thank You
