Porcupines

Porcupines are vegetarian animals and do not receive enough potassium through their regular diet. They look for additional sources of salt to maintain proper levels of potassium in their blood cells.

poor thing is hungry, try offering a different food source away from your home.

animals-

polar bears

seals

artic foxes

artic hares

plants

reindeer mossess

small shrubs

that's what i can think of right now so :)

porcupettes

They reproduce sexually. They roll into a ball together belly to belly so they won't stick each other with their quills. I saw it on TV one day.

Amarican,African,Asian,Eroup,forest and jungle porcupines

No, but porcupine quills are dirty and carry bacteria and fungi. A poke by a porcupine quill could start an infection in an animal, including a human.

where do porcupines live in idaho

They provide the porcupine with it's primary means of defense against predation .

Porcupines like salt and they often like to chew on canoe paddles, wooden tool handles, and plywood as well. They like the paddles and tool handles because of the salt that is there from human sweat. They like the plywood and other woods because of the glue used. Tree bark is a part of their diet.

There are no porcupines in Australia; hence, they are simply called porcupines.

Australia has its own unique species of egg-laying mamal (monotreme) called an echidna. The echidna has spines, but apart from that, it bears no resemblance to the porcupine whatsoever.

These are called quills. They come loose and get stuck in the skin of animals that they come in contact with.

more than enough if you know what i mean:) ;)

Porcupines are considered consumers in the food chain. As herbivores, they primarily feed on plants, such as leaves, twigs, and bark. They do not play a role as decomposers, which are organisms that break down dead organic matter into simpler substances. Instead, porcupines contribute to energy flow within ecosystems by consuming producers (plants) and being a food source for other consumers in the food chain.

Like sweet rabbits with DEADLY SPIKES! Touch at your own risk.

In most cases, the settlers would attempt to kill and harvest the meat from the animal. However, in some cases the settlers may have become frightened and tried to run away. Certainly there was always the risk of death from an animal attack.

Australia and New Zealand have been geographically isolated for a very long time. When they broke away from the rest of the continents, the gene pool of the animals and plants in Australia and New Zealand were isolated from the organisms of the mainland. Therefore, these creatures evolved down a different path. Changes in the gene pools in Australia had no effect on the organisms on the mainland and vice versa, so the changes in Australia were completely different.

How porcupines get food will depend on the type of porcupine. The porcupine found in North America finds food by climbing trees. The African porcupine does not climb trees, instead he searches the ground for food.

yes they do

the spikes are painfull if you just put your hand right on top. but if brush it in a sertain way on its side its just like a hard hair brush!!

hope you have an awesome day!!!

Don't ever pet it from the back up, start at the head and pet down, so the quills don't get ya, and first, make sure the porcupine will let you, hold out your hand and if it starts sniffing you, it probably likes you, now you pet it, :)

They give birth to the young with the spines fully developed, whether it hurts or not, ask a porcupine.

The young porcupine's quills are soft at birth but harden within the first half hour after birth. I would imagine that natural child birth does not come without some pain, but the pain for the porcupine is not cause by the quills.

pocupines live in either caves or small hollow trees
