According to the Saed News analytical news site, wildlife refers to all living beings, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, that live naturally and in the wild without human intervention or assistance, sourcing their own food and water. Wildlife also includes all plants and essentially any living organisms that exist without human interference.

Leopard and Porcupine

The leopard is a member of the Felidae family and the suborder Feliformia. Among the five big cats in the Panthera genus, it is the second smallest after the snow leopard, with the tiger, lion, and jaguar being the three larger species.

A hedgehog or porcupine refers to mammals belonging to the subfamily Erinaceinae. Sometimes, the porcupine (Hystricidae) is mistakenly called a hedgehog due to the quills on its back. However, porcupines belong to the rodent order and are entirely different from hedgehogs, which are smaller, omnivorous, and belong to the order Eulipotyphla.
