Porcupines

Porcupines can be playful or dangerous to other animals.  They back toward enemies.  Then they pound their tails back and forth to defend themselves.  Then suddenly, quills fly out.  They have quills all over their bodies.

These animals live in parts of North America.  They are the biggest rodents in North America.  They have more than 30,000 quills.  A porcupine's quills are made of hair.  The porcupine eats anything that can grow.  They sniff to find their food.  That is how a porcupine lives and what it is like.
