How far can a porcupine shoot his quills?
Porcupines cannot shoot their quills. Porcupines are known for their quills, which are sharp, barbed hairs. However, they do not have the ability to shoot these quills at predators. Quills are loosely attached to the porcupine's skin and can easily be shed when the animal is threatened. When a porcupine is threatened, it will erect its quills and try to appear larger. This can be an effective deterrent to predators.
Porcupines are not typically aggressive animals, but they will defend themselves if they feel threatened. The quills on their back can easily penetrate skin and cause pain. If a predator is struck by a porcupine quill, it will likely withdraw and leave the porcupine alone.
