The picture below was taken in the Kirkland Lake area, near the
town of Virginiatown in northeastern Ontario. The Porcupine below is
of the North American variety and is found in heavily wooded areas
from Alaska to northern Mexico. It has hundreds of very sharp quills
with a varying length of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) and if another
animal such as a dog is not careful these quills will cause quite a
lot of pain.
We strive to be accurate as possible with this information
but we are not infallible.
