'Spiny'

Meet Spiny! Spiny is a cool porcupine who has lots of interesting friends. Spiny loves to have his friends around him, just like humans do.

You can meet Spiny's friends, who happen to be cacti & succulents. Find out lots of cool things about these odd specimens, then share them with *your* friends! Weird things like: did you know that the spines on cactus are not only to protect the plant from predators, but also to protect the plant from the sun. That's right! All of those thin spines actually shade the plant bit by bit throughout the day.

So, now you've learned something cool. (Ha! Get it? Shade from cacti spines keep the cacti cool! Hee, hee!) Funny guy, that Spiny.
