Porcupines live in many parts of North America, Africa, and South America. Primary habitats include forests, deserts, and grasslands. In Washington State, porcupines occur mostly in forested areas, but also thrive along riparian zones, in brushy wetlands, and even in the shrub-steppe region of eastern Washington.
The porcupine is very different from other rodents in North America because it is so large, has a big head and, of course, because of its long quills. Porcupines have around 30,000 quills, mostly on their backs and rumps. The longest quills are near the tail and the shortest are on their cheeks.
