A lateral-view illustration of a spiny rodent showing elongated keratinous quills projecting from the dorsal integument and rump. In biological hierarchy, it depicts a mammal (class Mammalia) within the order Rodentia at the whole-organism level. In zoology and mammalogy, the image highlights integumentary adaptations for antipredator defense. The quills, modified hairs anchored in skin follicles, cover the back and tail, while the head shows small rounded pinnae, a blunt rostrum, and sturdy, clawed feet for terrestrial locomotion.
