"PIN UP PORCUPINE" - North American Porcupine
"PIN UP PORCUPINE"
North American Porcupine
Here is the star of today's blog and also, this week's Photo of the Week.
According to Canadian Geographic, a porcupine has approximately 30,000 quills on its body. There are no quills on its stomach, nose and bottoms of its feet. (I do think they have the cutest faces!)
A porcupine will defend itself by dislodging its quills, through a thump of its tail. Predators attack. Porcupines defend.
