Do porcupines drink water. I read something on a hiking trail in NW Colorado that said Porcupines probably never drink water. It seemed so absurd I had to clarify?

Well every living thing in this world has to drink water or it would die.
Not to be mean or anything but you should have known that. Yes porcupines do drink water, However there is a creature that doesnt, The Koala in Australia does not drink water all of its water comes from the gum leaves it eats.

What is the correct name beginning with the letter q for the spines of the echidna?
Spines IS the correct term when referring to the echidna. The questioner is probably looking for the answer "quills", but this word is usually used in reference to the porcupine. Echidnas and porcupines are not related at all. Therefore, echidnas have spines and porcupines have quills.
Are porcupines related to beavers?
Yes, they are both rodents. I live in Michigan where there are many beavers and porcupines, so I have a lot of experience with these creatures. As you may already know, the two species look very similar in every way: except for the tooth shape and quills of course. In fact, on one of my encounters, I saw a porcupine and a beaver mating. It was very fascinating. At this time of my life, I was very arrogant and I never had the time or will to appreciate the similarity of two animals. And I thought probably as you did, that porcupines and beavers are very different. But now, after seeing them mate and having several scientists talk to me, I now see. Beavers and porcupines are related and don't let anyone tell you different. P.S. I thought you should know that Porcupines don't have a smell to them. There were some previous questions asking about the smell of porcupines, and being an expert on such animals i think I would know whether they had a smell to them. In fact the first thing I do to examine an animal is smell it. Thank you for your question and please, ask again.
What is the name of the echidna's spines starting with the letter q?
Echidna spines are usually only known as spines. The word "quills", which is probably supposed to be the answer, is more properly applied to porcupines.
Do skunks have quills?
I don't think skunks go through rosebushes too much, but their thick coat will probably prtotect them.
Do porcupines have pointed ears?
No. No they do not. Not only are their physical features very distinct, but their scents are entirely different. To begin with, porcupines have a coat of sharp spines, or quills that set them apart from all other animals. Obviously, beavers do not carry this trait. Beavers have webbed feet and a long, wide tail. The tail of the porcupine is neither long or wide and porcupine's feet are not webbed. Next, beavers are the second largest rodent. Porcupines are the third largest rodent. This means that beavers are larger then porcupines. As you can see, beavers are completely different animals and have no true resemblance whatsoever. Sorry to all of those out there who thought they resembled each other. Also, please note that just because these animals might be related, does not mean they look alike. Oh, and just because you draw spikes on a beaver, does not mean it actually looks like a porcupine. You could probably draw spikes on a toaster and make it look like a porcupine.

How porcupines reproduce?
While males are looking for receptibe females, they make their home vigger 5 times bigger taht the normal size, to attract the females. Males are ready to reproduce at 24 months and females at 12 months. The male splashes the female with urine, then the male mounts with the female in front and the male on the side. If the female is not ready and the male splashed her with urine, then she shakes of the urine and leaves. During the intercourse, the female curls her tail over her back to cover her quills. well ya see when a boy porcupine and a girl porcupine like each other VERRYYYY much they move in together and then they call the stork well.... probably the same way dogs do. boy porcupine climbs on top of girl porcupine, then some weeks or months later, baby porcupines arrive.... simple
