Have you ever seen a baby porcupine (a porcupette)? It is adorable. Grab these simple porcupine FREE coloring pages and activities to teach all about these prickly creatures in your homeschool.
Although, these creatures are adorable as babies when they grow up – not so much. Especially if you ever were to get sprayed by one.
Did you know that a porcupine is actually a rodent and its sharp pines are a defense mechanism against its predators?
Porcupines are actually the third biggest rodent after the capybara of Australia and the beaver.
One more thing before I go. The name “porcupine” comes from Middle French porc d’épine “thorny pork”, hence the nickname “quill pig” for the animal.
