Those slow-moving, shuffling hairbrush-like creatures can be ihc demise of a mutt'i pro file. Who would believe that a por cupine's spongy uuills could do so much painful damage. Another fact to consider is that a porcupine is born with soft fur with the quills hardening up just two or three days after birth. Because a young por :upine can defend itself at a very young age. the parents aren't required to coddle and protect their young quite as much as other wildlife. Contrary to popular belief, a porcupine docs not shoot or throw its quills. However, porcupines thrash their tails, sometimes vio lently, to drive (he quills, and the point, home. In order for quills to stick, the intended victim must come into physical contact with the porcupine. Porcupines are nocturnal, lazily sleeping away the daylight hours while other wildlife are out forag ing. A porcupine's diet consists of the inner bark of trees, and in the spring, they consume hcrbacious plants, including mistletoe. They are especially fond of salt and will chew on things such as ax handles and gloves that have been permeated with perspiration. I he Oregon High Desert Museum, located south of Bend just off High way 97, has five resident porcu pines, including a three-month-old female named Thistle Britches.
