Porcupines. 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. The
museum is open daily during the
summer from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission is $2.50 for adults, $2.00
