Porcupine Napping in the Leafy Forest

A little porcupine curls up tight, fast asleep on a cozy nest of soft leaves. His small nose tucks under his paw, and his spiky quills fan out in all directions like a wild hairdo. Around him, big oak and tiny twiggy leaves scatter the ground, along with smooth stones and a wiggly feather.

This quiet scene is full of gentle forest details. The porcupine’s peaceful face and closed eyes add calmness, while curved lines show the swirl of leaves and twigs that shelter him. Even the falling leaves seem to tiptoe, careful not to wake this bushy sleeper.

Fun Fact!

If a porcupine loses a quill, a new one will grow back in its place.
