Palawan Porcupine – Philippines
This spiky fellow is native to the Philippines and is known for its “I don’t want to be hugged” look. With quills that can grow up to a foot long, they’re not exactly the cuddly type. The Palawan porcupine’s unique diet includes fruits, bark, and soil, making them the ultimate foodie.
Although they may seem like a great choice for exotic pet lovers, please remember that they’re not exactly low-maintenance pets. Plus, trying to give one a belly rub might result in a painful lesson on personal space. It’s better to leave these spiky creatures in their natural habitat and admire them from afar.
