Probably the largest porcupine I’ve ever seen, spaniel sized but way more girthy. This was on Raven’s Rocks on the northeast shoulder of Mount Greylock. #nature #wildlife #berkshires #guidelife | Thomas Attila Lewis

Happy #WorldPorcupineDay from African cape porcupine Holley! This species is the largest rodent native to Africa. The long spines on their tails are not quills and do not detach. These spines are hollow and make a rattling sound when shaken to scare off predators! If that doesn’t do the trick, the spines are still very sharp and will be used for defense. #Porcupine #PorcupineDay #Syracusezoo #Syracuse #CNY #OnondagaCounty #OnondagaCountyParks | Rosamond Gifford Zoo

You’d think we’d see them everywhere and know everything about them. The truth is, there is minimal research in Oregon regarding a porcupine’s life and habitat use. Because of this, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is embarking on a quest to learn more about and find more porcupines. And they need our help! If you have a trail camera,

Happy world porcupine day with Little Dude, our African crested porcupine!! They are the largest porcupine species and one of the heaviest rodents in the world, with a body built for defense. It has a stocky frame and powerful, clawed forelimbs adapted for digging. Its most iconic feature is the impressive array of black and white quills covering its back and flanks—some as long as 14 inches. These modified hairs are not barbed, but they are loosely attached and can detach easily into the flesh
