The most popular porcupine hobby is needlepoint. Quilting is a close second. Fun fact! A porcupine has approximately 30,000 quills on its body? Needle bit a love? Umm, no thanks, not a hugger. We repeat. Not. A. Hugger. Did you know porcupines don’t throw their quills? Don’t get us wrong, they may throw some sassy barbs, (Porcupines are vocal critters and create a wide array of verbal cues, including shrill screeches, coughs, groans, whines, passive aggressive insults, and teeth chatters) but alas, no quill launching. However, on occasion, loose quills will fall out (awkward), creating the illusion that they’re being launched. We apologize that it took so long to get to the point. Bonus: Not to keep you on pins and needles, but a group of porcupines is called a prickle. A baby porcupine is called a porcupette.
