Did you know porcupines are HUGE?

Why did I think they were hedgehog size? They can get up to like 30lbs and 30 inches long. 😱

@itsok They are...and they don't seem to be afraid much. I wouldn't either if I was covered with that kind of protection..lol Sheba, the name of the dog, had quills in her gums and nose....itwasn't just one to remove so she had to endure the pain when we removed them. It was very difficult to handle her...couldn't blame her.
