Once used, a porcupine's quills will grow back again.Ī particular species of this rodent called the North American porcupine can have over 30,000 quills. Because porcupines leave their hollow needles stuck in the body of the predator, infections can occur, which can prove to be dangerous and even deadly.

A porcupine quill is sharp and hollow, and they often prove to be very lethal when piercing the skin of the predators. These quills are also known as their defensive hairs.
Most porcupines have sharp, long quills all over their body that they will only use when they feel threatened. Instead, they are pointy and can get stuck on anything they touch. When you look close enough, the hairs are anything but soft. This kind of pig has prickly hair on its back. The name porcupine basically translates to 'pig' in Latin American. When it comes to survival, those hair-like barbs really come in handy. A porcupine has many different defense techniques at the ready, with most of them including the use of their quills. These quills help defend against predators. Porcupines are very slow-moving rodents with dozens of quills attached to their bodies and on their backs. Porcupines are found all across the globe and they are famous for their porcupine quills. A porcupine has dozens of quills, which are helpful defensive tools for any animal that is slow-moving and at a risk of being threatened by faster predators.
