There are two types of porcupines: Old World porcupines
and New World porcupines. The Old World porcupines are usually
pretty big, and their spikes are grouped in clusters. The New World
porcupines, though, are smaller, and their quills are attached singly
rather than in groups. The New World porcupines are more closely
related to other families of rodents than the Old World porcupine.

Though in Latin the word porcupine means “quill pig”, the
porcupine is actually a rodent. The porcupine is covered with quills,
long, sharp needle‐like tubes that have sharp tips or barbs at the
end. Some of the porcupine’s quills are almost a foot long! Some
porcupines also have a prehensile tail that they can use to grip
branches when they climb trees.

The quills on a porcupine lie flat when he is relaxed. But
the minute he senses danger, this unique defense mechanism kicks
into action. First, the quills pop up. If a predator gets close enough
for a quill to touch him (and some of the quills can be up to a foot
long!) then the porcupine releases the quill, which becomes stuck
in the predator. This is usually enough to cause a predator to
change his mind about having porcupine for dinner.
