A lateral illustration of a small spiny mammal with a pointed rostrum, rounded pinnae, and short limbs. In zoological anatomy, it depicts an organism whose dorsal integument bears dense keratinized spines (modified hairs) overlying the back, while the ventrum shows soft fur. Within a biological hierarchy, individual spines are integumentary structures embedded in skin of the trunk of a terrestrial mammal. The integument functions in mechanical defense and thermoregulation and aids predator deterrence. The site shown is the trunk and head region, emphasizing the snout, ear, and forelimb, relevant to comparative morphology and physiology.
