Contender 1: Human

The human, Homo sapiens, is a highly intelligent and social primate species. They are characterized by their upright posture, opposable thumbs, and relatively hairless bodies compared to other mammals. Humans have complex brains that enable them to think, reason, and communicate through language. They possess a wide range of physical variations in height, weight, and skin color due to genetic diversity. Humans are known for their adaptability and capacity to use tools, which has allowed them to thrive in a variety of environments across the globe.

Fun Fact: Humans are the only known species capable of abstract thinking, allowing them to conceptualize ideas and think in terms of concepts that do not have a physical presence.

Contender 2: Porcupine

The Porcupine is a unique, large rodent recognized by its coat of sharp spines, or quills, which are used for protection against predators. The most characteristic feature of this mammal is its quills, which can be up to 30 centimeters long and are coated with a layer of keratin making them tough and resistant. These nocturnal creatures vary greatly in size and appearance across different species, ranging from a foot to over two feet in length, excluding the tail. The porcupine is a herbivore, mainly eating leaves, bark, and stems of trees.

Fun Fact: Unlike common belief, Porcupines cannot shoot their quills out at will, rather the quills detach easily when a predator comes into contact with them.
