Abstract

This research investigates the essential histomorphological and histochemical features of five male porcupines. The tail of the penis was noticed. Loosen the column's rod. There is no difference in the external color of the body and the glans penis, as it is pink in both Keratinized papillae enveloping the penis and body of a glans. In the glans, there are tiny nail-like features. The urethra is situated in the connective tissue behind the hand the glans of the penis and beneath the penis. The inner and outer layers are made of connective tissue and keratin, respectively. According to histologically, the porcupine penis is likewise vascular. This study began by examining the morphology of a porcupine rod. Our findings will help us understand the similarities and differences between porcupine and rodent reproduction and those of mammals. Our results concluded that the penis in porcupines is very similar to most other species of porcupine and to some rodents such as mice and guinea pigs. It also resembles a dog's penis of its orientation and internal structure. It is also different from most mammals.
