Humans the only predator of Malayan porcupine in our forests, says MNS

Chow says Malayan porcupine is sought after for its meat which is claimed to be rich in protein.

DESPITE being armed with sharp quills, the Malayan porcupine is not able to defend itself from being killed.

Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) president Vincent Chow said the Malayan porcupine was a nocturnal animal, which meant it would rest during the day and become active at night.
