Usually porcupines only breed once a year. They also breed in the season of Autumn.

When threatened their quills spring up in defense, they love salt and sometimes venture into human "areas" in search of it, and they sometimes live in families and lead a monogamous life

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

They would use their sharp spines are their back to fend off predators when they threatened them (structural adaptation) and will also curl up into a ball showing off their spines to their predators (behavioural adaptation) and protect their soft body parts on their underside of their body.

In this way, it will escape from their predators although they are easily spotted by them.
