The world.there are several species of porcupines.

The truth is that they slap their tails and push the quills into their enemy’s skin. Small hooks and scales cover the tip of each quill. That’s why when you get poked by one it’s very difficult to remove. So be careful. A chemical similar to medicine also covers the tip of a porcupine quill. So if you ever get poked by one, at least you won’t have to worry about getting an infection. The fisher is the porcupine’s greatest enemy, along with other predators such as wolves, owls, coyotes, and cougars. Porcupine quills are very difficult to remove from other animals.

However, it is easy for a porcupine to remove them from its body. Porcupines are nocturnal creatures. That means they are awake during the night and asleep during the day. Porcupines are herbivores. That means they only eat plants.
