Contrary to popular myth, a porcupine’s quills cannot be fired at enemies but are loosely embedded in the skin and easily shed on contact. When threatened, a porcupine erects its quills and backs towards its assailant. Careless predators may end up with quills so deeply embedded that fatal wounds can develop.

These look great as a display or can be used for creative projects.

These quills measure approx. 14-18cm.
