Porcupines

they probably come out with the quills there but not sharp or sticking out as to they will not hurt the mothers soft belly, but a time goes by, they harden, sharpen, and sticking out when their mother will leave him soon.

Yes. They are indiginous to the upper half of the country

they also have came back bacause the weather has been warmer and the forests are growing back

Well, actually, they are not. The dog is known as man's best friend.

Not all animals dream. Animals of higher class (vertibrates) dream. While invertibrates don't.

In one way they're man's best friend.They also serve as food,they give us milk as well! Like what they say MAN CANNOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE.

They used them in necklaces

You have to trim them or they will be

the porcupine is born with its quills a@#$@#*.

Provide food for one thing, companionship, livelihood and at some point in time they also provided clothing, transportation, medication. Some of them also save life and give a lot of comfort and rendered service to people who are handicapped in some ways or just lonely. They also bring beauty to the ones who care to observe the world around them and for me a world without any kind of animals would be a very dull world indeed. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of things that animals do and did for us but one thing is sure, the more I see man, the more I like dogs!

Not all porcupines live in deciduous forests. There are around 24 different species of porcupine ranging from Asia, Africa, America and Europe, and their habitat can be deserts, grassland or forests of any type.

The animals that are living in the mountain side i guess.

Porcupines bowels are well known to burst if a porcupine doesn't let his poop out which results in a dead porcupine. So basically, they poop to save their own lives

No they can't, my daughter saw one at a pet show and touched the quills. She said they cannot hurt you.

the lion lives in a kingdom called Amelia

The African crested porcupine, the largest terrestrial rodent in Europe and Africa, may weigh 60 pounds.

Porcupines don't really attack. They generally only try to get away. Sometimes, if a human stumbles across them or messes with them, they can end up with quills stuck in them.

A porcupine's entire body, with the exception of the belly and legs, is covered with sharp quills. The porcupine's quills, which are actually hardened, barbed hairs, are its primary source of protection. Porcupines cannot "throw" their quills as is popularly thought. They can, however, slap their quilled tail with lightning speed in the direction of an attacker. If a predator comes too close, it is likely to get a nose or mouth full of sharp quills that will work deeper and deeper into the flesh, causing a nasty infection and in extreme cases, possible death. A single porcupine may have upwards of 30,000 quills, more than 100 per square inch. Native Americans once used the quills as needles, and as ornaments on clothing. They were also used in the making of Native American warriors' breastplates. Porcupines are amazing climbers. They have been sighted over 60 feet up in the tops of trees, particularly cottonwoods, and these animals are extremely agile. Porcupines are herbivorous, feeding on bark and twigs, and prefer to eat softwoods, such as pine, elm and poplar. These rodents love salt and will seek it out. This craving leads them to eat such things as succulent plants, saddle leather, and the occasional shovel handle. In some areas, the porcupine's love for salt can get it into trouble. They will eat just about anything with a salty taste, including rose bushes, lily pads, garden produce and even car tires. Porcupines have been known to eat gardening equipment, wood siding on homes and yard furniture. Even when feeding only on trees, porcupines can cause problems. They can strip so much bark off the tree that it dies. There are some products that can discourage porcupines from literally eating you out of house and home. Most of these are liquid sprays that taste terrible to the porcupine. Another option for controlling problem porcupines is trapping and relocation. In northern climates, a natural predator of the porcupine, the fisher, is sometimes introduced into an area to control porcupine populations. Fishers are a type of weasel and are about the size of a large house cat. Other predators of the porcupine include the bobcat, and where found, the timber wolf, and wolverine. These animals are quick, and are able to flip the porcupine onto to its back in order to expose it's soft, unprotected belly. In Oklahoma, only the bobcat, and occasionally the coyote, are natural predators of the porcupine. Porcupines mate in the fall and give birth about 112 days later in the spring. They usually have only one offspring, called a porcupette, and twins are rare. The porcupine's quills are soft at birth and harden within their first hour of existence. They can eat solid food in about two weeks. Unlike their stoic parents, porcupettes are quite playful.

i was ganna do a poetry about a puffer fish and i made this i like puffer fish because there are also born in 2002 like me

Butterflies are important in the rainforest because they help to move pollen from place to place. This allows many different kinds of plants to be fertilized, insuring a new generation of plants.

A group of porcupines is called a herd or prickle.

The Dall's Porpoise is the longest and heaviest and the Vaquita is the smallest

Yes! They make awesome pets, all you have to do is when you first get them put a piece of clothing in their cage to get them used to your scent. If they are bad you can put some rubbing alcohol on their nose and they will stop right away!

Your throat should not bleed when you throw up unless of course you throw up A LOT. If you have bloody vomit, you should see a doctor as this could be very serious. If on the other hand you are throwing up so often as to irritate the lining of your throat then you should see a doctor about that as well. I wish you luck.

Porcupines grow to be 25 to 36-inches long with an 8 to 10-inch tail. Porcupines weigh up to 35-pounds when adults. Porcupines live on a diet of leaves, herbs, and green plants. North American porcupines climb trees to forage for good, while African porcupines remain on the ground.

Yes, porcupines are primary consumers. They eat only plant matter.
