Erethizon dorsatum Porcupine Stachelschwein The porcupine is, of course, easily recognized by its most notable feature—its quills. Usually the quills lie flat against the body, but if danger threatens, the porcupine raises and spreads them. Scales on quill tips lodge in the skin like fishhooks. Klondike Highway, Yukon, Canada |
