Porcupines are large
rodents with coats of sharp spines, or quills, that protect them against
predation
Most porcupines are about 60–90 cm (25–36 in) long, with a 20–25 cm (8–10 in) long tail. Weighing 5–16 kg (12–35 lb),
The porcupine will attack by running sideways or backwards into predators. A porcupine's tail can also be swung in the direction of the predator; if contact is made, the quills could be impaled into the predator causing injury or death
Researchers estimate the porcupine has more than 30,000 of these quills with as many as 100 to 140 growing from each square inch of skin.
So blossom PLEASE don't ever step on one of these devils.
I look at one in the wilds, no problem, but in the Pepper's yard, field, within range of the Max it's a different feeling.
Dog's and Porcupines are never a good mix-Vet bills start between $700-800 for an average hit.
Then is a per quill charge $ per quill a some clinics on top.
