Animal Spotlight | Porcupine

Porcupines are probably one of the most infamous animals out there with their tens of thousands of barbed, pointy quills. But what are porcupines like in the wild? What do they eat? What could possibly eat them? Why are they such good swimmers? I go over all of this and more in this week's spotlight, and the first ever one about a mammal on the channel!
Thank you to my friend Mal from Trailside Museum and Zoo for the footage!

Solitary
Stinky
Stabby 🤣🤣🤣
Not gonna lie, the fact that they live in and subsequently fall out of trees is terrifying to me. I was today years old when I found out I have a new fear 😱

Gives me flashbacks to my days as a vet tech in MA helping pull quills out of dog faces.

I had no idea porcupines were arboreal or that they could even climb trees.
