pThe North American porcupine is one of the largest rodent species on the continent, and uses modified hairs known as quills to defend itself from attack. When that doesnt work, they can use their tree-climbing skills or emit a skunk-like odor to deter predators. The word porcupine literally means quill pig, despite the fact that its really a rodent. There are actually two families of rodents called porcupines, one of which lives in the Old World of Europe, Asia and Africa, and the other which resides in the New World of the Americas.
