Have you ever heard about a Durian? Of course! But my article is not about the fruit that you eat. Instead this is a creature who is living here on Earth, like us.
A Palawan Porcupine is known as Durian/Landak in Palawan. Hystrix pumila is the scientific name of it.
This is a species found in primary and secondary forest in the mountains and in the lowland. These animals choose to stay in caves, but they are commonly under the rocks or trees. As you have seen in the picture Palawan Porcupine has a spiny skin. These spiny skin serve as their protection and defense system.
It is an endemic species restricted in the Palawan Faunal Region. It has been recorded in the islands of Busuanga, Calauit, Coron and on the Mainland at the Puerto Prinsesa Subterranean River National Park and the forested areas of El Nido.
This animal has no natural enemies. I just guess only humans has a bad attitude will be their enemy. Those are the people who will kill or catch this animals enable just to have a stuffs for themselves. We know that, we used to kill animals to be our food but have you ever given a thought that, what if these Durians will be all kill and used it for other stuffs. That is not a good idea! They are few Durians, then you will just eat it?
If you are a good citizen of the world. You will help our Mother Earth! Instead of putting animals in dangered. Lets take good care of them. So, the next generation can still see it.
