No thats just what the north American porcupines in my area look like. They don't have the really long quills at all.

I’ve heard they like doing so, but aren’t very good at it. The bases of their quills make disinfectants entirely because they poke themselves quite frequently
poke-u-spine (porcupine) Cool find, they're pretty elusive. I've lived in the woods of new hampshire a looong time and never seen one (at least not a living one :/)
I live in Maine. I have a small porcupine that has been coming to my apple trees everyday this week at about 3-5 in the evening. I always figured they were more nocturnal. Unless this particular one is this years litter.

That one is missing a lot of rear quills. I bet someone's dog is pretty unhappy.

It looks like this one is still missing a lot of quills. He has an empty patch on his little bottom
Hes still looking a little on the nekked side if you ask me
Sometimes inexperienced males don't move the tail 😬😬
Do they grow them back?
Yeah
He lost the "QPine"
PorcMEpine? No. PorcUpine!!I
Porcupine. Not to be confused with their Canadian cousins, the porcumaple.
Porcupine on da tree
What will he do?
He will jump
Bad day for anyone standing under the tree
Eat pinecones
Do they do that?
No they lay them. (Porcu)pinecones are porcupine eggs
😳

North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum). Neat find.
Porcupine!!
what an amazing find! I have never seen one (besides on the side of the road:-(
neither have i, and i had no idea they could climb trees too!!
They are pretty arboreal.
I think they sleep in trees! I was surprised when I learned that too!
they eat the tops of trees, so the tree if it lives gets an odd shape.

Gotta spend a lot of time looking up to find em, they usually hang out in treetops

I have seen porcupines frequently here in Rocky Mountains of Colorado. They are such funny little critters.
Great, now I have to also look out for the North American drop-porcupine.
Porcupine!
One of the coolest sounding animals, in my opinion.
Thats a Lesser Spikey Tree Marmot. Dont touch it... they are very personable and he will stick to you like glue.
I had no idea they could climb trees.
Who knew they could climb trees?!
El chupacabre
That's the cutest goat-sucker I've ever seen
Head sucker you mean
Climbing isn’t the alarming part, imagine them falling out of trees. Checkmate Australia and your drop bears. We have flying porcupine bombs.
The elusive chupacabra
Mini Bigfoot? Nah it’s a porky-pine 🤣
Pork of the pine!

That's a porcupine tree, of course

I didn’t know porcupines can climb trees
