This prickly porcupine takes a break from snacking to peer curiously into the lens of the camera.
The North American Porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) is the second largest rodent in North America, after the North American Beaver (Castor canadensis). The porcupine is distinguished by its coat of about 30,000 quills that covers all of its body except underbelly, face and feet. The quills are sharp, barbed and hollow hairs that are used primarily for defense and insulation. When used for defense, the quills can lodge in the flesh of a victim and are difficult and painful to remove. The porcupine’s summer diet includes twigs, roots, stems, berries, and other vegetation. In the winter, they mainly eat conifer needles and tree bark. Porcupines are a slow-moving creature with poor distance vision. They are nocturnal, spending their days resting in trees. The porcupine does not hibernate in winter, preferring to stay close and sleep in their dens. This porcupine was photographed in the woods near Williams, Arizona, USA.
The porcupine is a medium sized animal that grows to a length of 18 to 23 inches and weighs from ten to 28 pounds. In the northeast, it is brown and black in color with the back, sides, and tail covered in sharp quills. There are no quills on the porcupine's face, its underbelly, or the insides of its legs.
