Question

Answer 1

This information indicates that humans are the big threat to these animas. The article cited below says:

"The South African crested porcupine is not listed on the Endangered Species List. However, due to the damage this species has done to cultivated crops, it has been exterminated in several parts of its range. Although the quills are naturally shed, the animals have been killed to take the quills for ornaments and charms."
