br110 # This large, beautifully done, Porcupine mount seems to be reaching out to be held (very bad idea!) with the cutest expression on his face. This display is 20 x 14x 12" with a wood base. When handling these just pick them up by their paws so you don't get spiked! When packing this guy up I turned him on his side and noticed a little bit of blue paint on the tips on some of his quills-could not see it when he was standing up on the base. Looks like he rubbed up against a freshly painted blue fence post at one point. Not noticeable unless he is laying down on his side but I felt I should mention just so the buyer would be aware.
Species and fun facts: Erethizon dorsatum
The North American porcupine, also known as the Canadian porcupine, is a large rodent in the New World porcupine family. It is the second largest rodent in North America, behind the North American beaver.
Breeding season is fall and early winter. They conduct an elaborate courtship involving extensive vocalizations, a courtship dance, and the male usually showers the female with urine before mating. Gestation lasts 205 to 217 days. Young (called porcupettes) are born in the spring/early summer. There is generally one porcupette per litter—twins are rare.
