Now here's a critter you want to practice social distancing from! North American porcupines are large, solitary rodents commonly found in New England but less common in Connecticut. Although they are mostly nocturnal, they can be found perched in the top of a tree during the day or walking on the ground around dusk or dawn. Porcupines are herbivores and typically have 20,000 to 30,000 quills which cover most of their body. Thanks to Don for sharing this great video he captured in Colebrook! | Co
