Porcupine is a rodent that lives in Southeast Asia, South Europe and in the countries of Asia Minor and the Middle East. Also this animal can be found in Sri Lanka and in Indochina. These rodents, which are noticeable from afar, inhabit mostly mountainous terrain, but they can also live in deserts, on plains.

 

Most of the time, the porcupine lurks in caves, under tree roots or between stones. Rodents dig themselves large holes in soft soils - at times the porcupine hole can reach 10 meters in length. Agile animals try to find themselves such a refuge, from which it will be possible to get out at least two ways.

ПЕРЕВОД:
Дикобраз — грызун, который обитает на Юго-Востоке Азии, Юге Европы и в станах Малой Азии и Ближнего Востока. Также это животное можно встретить на Шри-Ланке и в Индокитае. Эти заметные издалека грызуны заселяют в основном горные местности, но также они могут обитать и в пустынях, на равнинах.

Большую часть времени дикобраз скрывается в пещерах, под корнями деревьев или между камнями. Грызуны роют себе большие норы в мягких почвах — порой нора дикобраза может достигать 10 метров в длину. Проворные животные пытаются найти себе такое убежище, из которого можно будет выбраться хотя-бы двумя путями.

I have very nice girl friend. We meet when I visited my grandma in the village. Her name is Victoria. She's eighteen years old. We are being friend for five years. We had a lot of common interests and then it became to more interesting for us to communicate. Unfortunatly, we meet so rare because I can visit grandma only on summer holiday, but it don't prevent us from communicating. We chat and call each other every day. I can't wait for the day when we meet again and say each other about news in our lives.
