The baby porcupine looks just like the adults, so I'm guessing she has all the quills, etc. she's going to get.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603340469440704977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443412343771293708.post-38496035410130361982008-08-25T20:17:00.000-06:002008-08-25T20:17:00.000-06:00So is she/he more fuzzy because of being so young?...So is she/he more fuzzy because of being so young? Do they get more quills as they get older, or do adults only have quills across the back and near the tail, too?Meloniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534395003416179327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443412343771293708.post-61280034205433201512008-08-23T07:08:00.000-06:002008-08-23T07:08:00.000-06:00You're right—she looks fuzzy because the quills ar...You're right—she looks fuzzy because the quills are only across the back, near the tail. The little porky just has long hair in the front and on top that looks a little like quills. And they don't "throw" their quills. You have to be in contact with them to extract them.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603340469440704977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443412343771293708.post-27405921849889992892008-08-22T21:22:00.000-06:002008-08-22T21:22:00.000-06:00What a cute little face!
