Prickles the Cheerful Forest Friend

A bright-eyed porcupine sits with his round belly resting on the grass, ready for a day full of mischief and smiles. Every quill sticks out tall and wild, pointing this way and that, while his paws perch softly beneath him. His small, button nose and big, happy grin make him look extra friendly today.

Chubby little paws peek out from his fluffy body, and two round ears listen for the swoosh of wind in the forest. Sunlight might shimmer on his quills once you add some color, and his eyes sparkle with curiosity, just waiting for someone to join his prickly fun.

Fun Fact!

These barbs on a porcupine's quills work like tiny fishhooks, helping the quill pull itself deeper into a predator's skin.
