Friday: Parts that protect

Raven reads about a porcupine.

Rocket asks, "What are those long spikes?"

Nova says, "Those are quills. What might they do?"

Quills and shells

A porcupine has long, stiff quills.

Another animal may get too close.

Then the quills come off easily and poke it.

That helps keep the porcupine safe.

A box turtle has a hard shell.

It can shut its shell to stay safe.
