What does ZooAmerica want you to know about the porcupine? A porcupine has no need to be quick since their barbed quills keep almost all predators away. About 30,000 quills cover the animal's body. When threatened, the porcupine turns its back and raises its quills. A porcupine cannot "shoot" its quills, but a flick of the tail can drive them into an attacker. [2019]
