Abstract


The Crested porcupine Hystrix cristata is the biggest rodent in Libya. It has a high value from the faunistic point of view. It is known in Libya from only one specimen killed in a suburb in Tripoli in 1962. With aids of an animal dealer in Misurata, this work will provide information on the morphology, feeding habits, habitat, cranial and dental characters of this animal.
