Porcupines ARE friendly after all....

Remember to put on gloves before you 'play' with them....

Mine also, but I bet the incident he had was initiated by himself. Every 'pine ive encountered in the wild was non aggressive and just wanted to get away.

I was under the understanding that they did not actually shoot the quill, it only comes off when rubbed, hooked, or touched.
shooting stuff is neat

most dont but i think these were some mutant leading edge type porky drank some frak water. If i did not have eye pro that day i would be rocking a pirate patch....

Actually they dont shoot them like a gun, did you watch the video? Its very similar to how the tame one in the video was doing only multiplied, they start spinning and end up going so fast, the quills are sent out via centrifugal force, in all directions!

Was he full automatic or just semi?

My wife used to collect the quills off of live porkies when we would go hunting and then sell them to art shops. Getting them off live ones are the only ones they can work with as they stay pliable and flexible, once the porky is dead the quills instantly get brittle. She would carry a heavy towel or old jeans and then when we found one on the ground she would just run up and throw the material over its back and as it slapped away from it a couple times she had a quill loaded towel. Amazing how many we would get off them sometimes. I think a hundred quills was about average if one got the towel over them good to where they had to flip their tail a few times to shake it off.

nah I didn't watch the vid, I was not interested enough to view it....haha
just like everything else I am an expert at stuff with no knowledge or research at all, I think that's what bobcat liked most about me.

They also make interesting noises when eating!

I believe all porcupines would like to be friends.
