What is a porcupine? Porcupines are small animals that are part of the rodent family. That is the same family that rats and mice are a part of. Porcupines are brown or black. Some look yellowish or reddish. They can also be white. Many porcupines have quills that have black and white stripes. This can help them be seen in the dark. Porcupines do not have hair on their bodies. Instead they have quills. Quills are very hard and sharp hairs. Find out more about this amazing animal and learn the answers to these questions: Can porcupines throw their quills? What do porcupines eat? Why do porcupines eat a lot of salt? Do porcupines hibernate? What are the two names for a baby porcupine? And more. Learn what a porcupine looks like, where it lives, what it eats, who are its enemies, how babies are born, and other fun facts. Reading Level 3.8 Ages 7 - 10 All measurements in American and metric.

Porcupines are North America's second-largest rodent, with only the beaver surpassing it. They are alive and well, but most people have never seen one in the wild. They are cute, chubby, walk with a wobble, but just not very cuddly. The reason? They have quills sharper than hypodermic needles on their body, up to 30,000. These herbivores are unique in that they are one of the few northern mammals that do not hibernate or enter torpor. Instead, they den up in prickles and then manage to live off some of the least nutrient flora in the wintertime. This book will help you understand porcupines and what they eat, how they act, and why they are so good at surviving hostile winters and hot summers.

Don’t get too close to a porcupine! These prickly creatures defend themselves with a suit of armor—30,000 sharp quills that can be shot like arrows into an enemy's flesh! If the needle-like quills aren’t enough to scare a hungry predator away, a porcupine makes a stinky odor that's so horrible it can make an enemy's eyes and nose water! These are just some of the fascinating facts kids will discover as they explore the world of these prickly animals. Large, eye-popping photos and clear, grade-appropriate text engage emergent readers as they learn all about the unique and gross ways porcupines protect themselves. A section in the back of the book profiles another animal that protects itself in a similar way, to help reinforce the concept of defense mechanisms.
