    You're the second person who's seen that pic and said that! Apparently Yukon porcupines are bigger than in other places. He's a good size, but I've seen bigger ones around here!

    edited to add...I just looked it up and apparently porcupines can range from 12 to 35 pounds. I'd guess that one is about 20 pounds.

    I don't think our hedgehogs leave their quills in people, or animals, do they?? We had pet ones at school, and they were nice from what I recall. Small too.

    Completely different from a hedgehog. The only hedgehogs here are the domesticated pet ones. Hedgehogs don't leave their quills behind when attacked. Porcupines imbed their quills in their attackers. They have to be pulled out, usually under sedation.
