- The North American porcupine appears cute, but it has upward of 30,000 menacing quills over most of its body. The slow-moving herbivore delivers them only as a last-resort defense against predators.

*Instructions for removing them:*
Use scissors or pliers and cut the top of the quill off to release the pressure. Then firmly grab quill and remove in a _twisting_ manner. Pulling out without twisting them in a spiral pattern will tear the skin and be very painful. If you twist while pulling you should be able to completely remove the quill. Remember to wash off the area and see a professional for assistance.

Well done . Had to deal with these a few times in dogs and it's definitely not fun luckily I never had to deal with anything like that poor pup in the pics

It's about sending a message
Sounds interesting! Can you provide me with a source?
Wikipedia says it only has antibiotic properties.
"There are some possible antibiotic properties within the quills, specifically associated with the free fatty acids coating the quills. The antibiotic properties are believed to aid a porcupine that has suffered from self-injury."
No it's because they stab themselves so often they need a antibiotics to prevent infection
@@legoatoomthe source is that it was revealed to me in a dream
No, they don't. 🙄🤦🏻♀️Porcupines are extremely dirty and most animals do end up with infections from porcupine attacks. At the vet clinic I worked at we always prescribed antibiotics for any animal that had quills stuck in them.
Whoever donated their finger as a model, your service is appreciated.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 right sir....
and someone who donate their dog

Man I was about to comment the same thing😂
The natural antibiotic is the equivalent of "TELL YOUR FRIENDS WHAT YOU SAW HERE TODAY".
Never knew that their quills were also antiseptic.
They don't want to kill, they just want to send a message.
A painful one too.

Well some bees die when they sting you but those same bees might regret it and carefully pull out their stinger

Fun fact: porcupines evolved antibiotic quills because they like to climb but are so bad at it that they kept dying by their own quills.
It's true that porcupines are not fantastic climbers.
@@KQEDDeepLook not a lot of quadroped mammals are great climbers. Excluding felines of course.
Pro Tip: Never carry porcupines in your underwear.

It’s not that bad. I got one on my foot since a porcupine shed some and I stepped on it. Fortunately it didn’t go deep but it was an irritating feeling.
With how sharp it is it’d prolly just feel like one of the finger pokers for blood sugar test.

Its perfectly designed to stab you and stick, but it wont kill you, yk since you have to live to learn and spread the legend of the horrors
Except that it will kill you on the long run, because you will be starved to dead!

What a nice animal. They don’t want to hurt anything, they just don’t want to be hurt. They even provide first aid on their quills.
It has to act as an antibiotic because they frequently fall out of trees and get stuck by their own quills. Be careful for falling porcupines. Oh, listen to the pokemon-like sounds they make.
I think the hypodermic needle is missing…
It is indeed, whoops - you'll have to use your imagination for that moment

We'll see about that 😒
That's the most non-lethal, predator deterrent out there
Porcupines are so adorable, i strive to be like them
Brings back childhood memories, watching Homeward Bound. I always felt so bad for the dog who got hit in the face by one of these guys
Come here chance! Loved that movie😊
yes! thats immediately what i think of
Me as well, my childhood movie
I loved that movie
It's good to find someone else who remembers. I wore that movie out.
She took one for the team and actually got spiked. 👊 Commitment.
Thanks for reminding me that I'm not a dumb dog.
Porcupines also have the most boopable snoots in the whole animal kingdom.
Pro tip: If you use quills in jewelry or crafts, always blunt the tip before you cut it off! The cut tips tend to go careening off in random directions because of the pressure difference inside the quill, and you do NOT wanna step on a 1- 3 mm tip that only digs in deeper with every step!
(You should also cut the other end off before pulling a quill out of someone, again because of the pressure difference inside.)
I didn’t know people made jewelry with this, the tiny tips sounds so painful
@@boop9430
Its been a craft for hundreds of years actually! Luckily porcupines can grow theses back and they also drop quills randomly so we can collect them without hurting them!
Alot of native American regalia and crafts uses porcupine quills!!
@@artsyscrub3226 cool！
@@boop9430 i’m native and we actually use those quills in our regalia and jewelry, like the other comment said. they make really nice chokers, bracelets, and earrings. they’re very stiff and hollow with a gradient of white to black. of course, we sand them down and everything so they’re not as sharp. :)
we also use the finer, non-barbed hair on the porcupine’s head for our own headdresses. if you look up “porcupine style roach”, you can find some examples.
@@artsyscrub3226wow! That’s awesome! I never knew about this!
That poor doggo 😢
Maybe the owner shouldn’t have let it harass the wildlife then?
@@brody7714 Crazy how you can gather context from a still image. Almost like it's an assumption.
Guessing porcupines have never been in people's gardens before?
I always keep an eye on my dog but I live in the UK where the gardens are much smaller and there's less animals to be worried about - even then my dog has found hedgehogs snuffling around under bushes when he's gone to do his business. If it were a porcupine, that split second would have him come out covered exactly like the dog in the photo. There's plenty of other reasons why.
Dogs are curious - these experiences help dogs to learn from their actions. An owner can teach a dog not to go near dangers, but like kids, it's not uncommon for curiosity to get the better of them or even have accidents.
Let's not assume "bad owner" without any context.

Natural Antibiotic?
"Right bud, so here's how this gonna go. Your gonna touch me, I'm gonna stick you with my quills and it's gonna hurt a lot, buuuuuut there is a natural antibiotic so you won't get an infection. So no hard feelings right?"
✨microscopic backward facing barbz✨💅🏻
I was waiting for this coment💅😩😭
They're adorable prickly puppies 💖😅
The reason why they have an antibiotic property is to prevent themselves from getting an infection from hitting themselves with quills when they fall from trees 😅
Ow Poor dogs seen on the vet shows that they have to sedate the animal to remove the quills, because there were so many of them It would’ve been too painful not to have all those Quills, especially the sensitive areas like the nose and the mouth

It’s not about killing predators, it’s about sending message
*“Sharper than this hypodermic Needle”*
Am I blind? or did they not show the needle
It is so nice of them to have an antibiotic on it before it goes in someone's skin. ❤❤❤
Actually, I believe that the barbed texture is more of a North American porcupine thing because an African porcupine actually doesn’t have a barbed texture, it is simply very long and very pointy so it goes very deep. So it’s best to know which type of porcupine you’re dealing with before thinking about removing the quilt.
Pretty sure I know what continent I'm on

"Never spank a porcupine " said no one to me, ever.
I don't think anyone still thinks Porcupines actually shoot their quills.
Was always curious as to how the barb system worked with those quills. . .

"Dead living things tell no tales"
Porcupine - "Exactly"
The person who got the quill for the video 😂❤
And some carry the rabies virus, I saw a case were a game warden brought in an injured Bobcat that had messed with a porcupine and lost. Well after getting the quills removed and the bobcat was fully recovered, when they went to release it, the bobcat became very aggressive and started to come at the rehabilitation worker which prompted the game warden to pull out his service pistol and kill the bobcat.
And it was later revealed that the bobcat indeed had rabies. And when they tested the quills that were pulled out. They too tested positive for rabies. That’s just crazy to think that is one of many ways that the Rabies Virus can be transmitted
i wonder if the porkupine later died of rabies...or the cat didnt mess with it but was attacked by the rabid porker
Sorry, but this is nonsense.
The Rabies lyssavirus can *only* spreads through saliva, and essentially all mammals can get rabies.
Porcupine quills are made of keratin, they cannot carry the virus. If they found traces of the virus, it came from the bobcat's saliva (which are known as a carrier of the disease)
Porcupines are NOT primary carriers of rabies, it's very very rare in them, and you would have to be bitten (or kiss one) to get it.
"barbs" 💅🏻
Predator: I'm hit by 20 of those, I'm gonna die
Porcupine: You'll live to tell the stories.
As a child I always expected porcupines to be a much larger threat in life than they actually are lol
That's because as a kid you're smaller

Porcupines be like “eff you” but only slightly.
So practically they're harmful with harmless characteristics 😂
Porcupines really said "F**k around and find out."
I don’t know why but growing up I had an unnatural fear of porcupines and how I needed to make sure I didn’t get poked by them. Fast forward to today, I’ve never seen a porcupine in my life.
Porcupine - you learn it the hard way .
Love how the person just casually sticks themselves with one of the porcupine needles 🤣

I have a friend who own a lot of porcupines as pet . Those things acts like cat towards him . The sound of the quills hitting each other is soo loud too . They're cute, like a dangerous version of capybara
Porcupine: i dont want to kill you. I just want to send a warning.
bro broke the geneva convention
This is fascinating. Subscribed 👍👍👍
Literally "F around and find out" incarnate.
PRO TIP: to remove a quill, you don’t need to use pliers and rip them out. In fact, never do that. Instead, twist them and gently pull them out. The barbs work like a screw and come out with little damage, compared to yanking them out.

Porpucupine is a type of "I will hurt you but I will do it hygienecally" guy.
That antibiotic fact was very interesting. Thanks!
they're even sharper than that invisible hypodermic needle

Dog: Don't remind me... 😒
It's kind of neat that they're antibiotic and sharper than a needle. I read somewhere that the quill are actually hollow and can be used as needles in even medical situations
The movie Critters is the reason why everyone thinks porcupines shoot their quills.
Aww... its like "I dont want to kill you... just teach you a lesson"
What a nice change of pace for mother nature.
"Let me you teach a lesson" ahh Weapon
Years ago I worked at a fabrication / machine shop in northern MN. It had a full time guard dog ... half German Shepherd named Carl ... he knew I loved him. He got into a porcupine during the weekend and I was on duty ALON. Close to 100 quills with lots in his mouth and a few way back to the point that Carl was nearly gagging with my hand jammed into his mouth. Using long nose pliers it took nearly 3 hours as Carl (and me) had to have several 10 minute breaks. Carl was fine afterwards and he outwardly showed to all the others that I was was his BFF.
That needle is so sharp. I can't even see it.😂
