a ranger of Insugherata Natural Reserve, Rome, with crested porcupine quill near its den

---

Crested Porcupine is the only big rodent who lives into the town of Rome, Italy. Its activity is during the night, searching roots and other vegetables it eat. It's very difficult to look during the day: it's easier to find one of its tipical black and white quills on the ground, especially near its den.
