Baby Porcupine
Porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum)
Porcupines are three feet long and weigh about twenty-five pounds. Sleeping all day in a crevice or the crotch of a tree, porcupines then wander at night in search of the vegetation they eat (preferring the inner bark of trees). Porcupines don't throw their quills; they turn their backs on predators and lash their tails at them.
