Porcupine
“Porcupine (Hystrix africao-australis). Rodent known for its characteristic defensive quills. Upon being driven into the flesh of attackers, they are difficult to remove. Porcupines live on vegetable food and do considerable damage to crops, though they also destroy certain poisonous plants which are a danger to cattle. They are about 28 inches long, live in burrows and are common to most parts of Southern Africa. See MAMMALS” (Rosenthal 1967:423).
