Porcupines

Porcupines are large, spine covered rodents that like a diet high in salt. Those in the Americas sometimes choose to live in trees, even though their distant relatives in Africa, Europe, and Asia prefer more grounded lifestyles. In the Order: rodent and Class: Rodentia, they need to gnaw constantly. Typical questions relate to the porcupine's uses of its quills, survival threats, preferred foods, interactions with people and wildlife, geographic ranges, and defensive behaviors.

Do porcupines shoot their quils?

The answer is NO

A porcupine has no mechanism for launching it's quills at victims.

The porcupine will shake it's body making the hollow quills rattle as a threat, and in the process some of the quills may shake loose, but this is not the same as throwing them.

A porcupine will reverse towards the threat (with some considerable speed) and if the threat does not retreat quickly it may find itself with a large number of quills embedded in it's body.

The quills are not tipped with poison but have a large number of bacteria living on them that can lead to severe infection if not treated quickly.

Is it morally justifiable to confine animals just for fun?

Depends. If the animal is aware or capable of knowing of its existence as a sole creature, a self-sustaining creature, then I would believe so. Pigs, Dolphins, and Elephants are mammalians that are aware of their existence just to name a few , as this is noted by their proportionally large frontal lobes.

How do animators synchronize voices with the animation?

They have a system that is set up to know how the mouth moves with the letter. They put poibnts on the characters voice and they click on the letter needed to be said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ That is one way of doing it. I heard on a YouTube video during the times of Looney Tunes, they voiced the characters first for accuracy as trying to do it the other way round ( animating the characters and then voicing it ) would be a lot harder to do. Sometimes, they would also try and act it out it a mirror, like say a word that they want the character to say, and then animate the character as they say it. There is actually a researched set of character mouth positions for each of the phonetics of the English vocabulary. These are pretty much accepted with all animators. For instance, the sound of a 'b' and the sound of an 'm' would actually have the same mouth position for the character, which looks like both lips are together. Usually, first they will record all of the voice overs. They will do the entire script in a soundbooth. They will actually have all of the characters and animation complete at this point except for the mouth and probably some facial expressions. Now, as they playback the recordings, they will animate the mouth according to the phonetics of each and every syllable. Some tweaking to the speed of the animation will synchronize it with the recordings. Sometimes, they do the voiceovers last. This gives the actor more to work with in terms of expression since they can see what is going on and match their words with the mouth of the character. Technically the softwares now a days are very helpful. There is one called papagayo. It records your voice and creates a *.dat file with it. Now you can use this in the animating software like anime studio to synchronise the voice with mouth animation by a single click !

Dog got porcupines needles in his nose what should you do?

Take your dog in to see your Veterinarian immediately. The Vet will sedate your dog to remove these quills as the quills have barbs on the ends that twist to the side so very painful to the dog to take them out, without any sort of sedation. If you have to do it yourself, then muzzle your dog with something like a long piece of gauze tied around his muzzle. Then get yourself some pliers and start pulling them out. But just keep in mind that this is going to be extremely painful for your dog and is really should be done by a Vet who can sedate your dog and then afterwards put him or her on antibiotics to make sure an infection does not set in.
