Lonely Porcupine

The porcupine spends most of his life alone and he likes it that way. He is the second largest rodent in North America and used his lonely life and his quills as his first form of defense. This Porcupine was located on Antelope Island (one of my favorite places). They live mainly in trees where they eat the twigs, bark and leaves. No they cannot throw their quills but recently the quills were the inspiration for a new form of hypodermic needle.
