Porcupine Spring, Alaska #5590

Description

After a long winter eating bark and spruce needles, porcupines descend to the ground, or into low bushes, to feast on new willow shoots and buds. A porcupine’s prickly coat, covered in about 30,000 barbed quills, offers a powerful deterrent to predators. Their quills are not thrown or shot, but instead a tail slap delivers a load of quills. Even animals as formidable as grizzly bears avoid porcupines.
