Do they ever stick themselves or other porcupines with their quills?. In this latest addition to the "Animal Answer Guide" series, we learn about these mysterious animals' "pincushion defense," along with the following facts: porcupines survive on a diet of leaves, bark, and fruit; quills are actually modified hairs; there are 26 species of porcupines (and counting); old world and new world porcupines have a common ancestor but evolved independently; and, new world males will gather to fight ferociously over a single female.
