Twirl, the prehensile-tailed porcupine skull replica, is finally brave enough to jump off the springboard high diving board at Saratoga High School in Saratoga, California. It took a lot of nerve but she did it.
Pokey, the African crested porcupine skull replica, decided it would be a good idea to sneak up behind her and push her when she was standing on the very edge while the lifeguard was not watching.
Spike, the North American porcupine skull replica, the other lifeguard saw what had happened to poor Twirl and immediately called Pokey’s mom to come pick him up.
Brushy, the Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine skull replica, was comforting Twirl and wrapped her towel around her. She sat her down on the plastic lounge chairs. All of a sudden Twirl jumped up and started dancing, grooving to Mick Jagger’s hit song I Can’t Get No Satisfaction.

| World Porcupine Day - July 2nd | July 2nd is World Porcupine Day. These herbivore mammals are highly recognizable by their coat of needle-like quills that remind predators not to mess with them! The sharp quills detach easily when touched but are replaced quickly after losing them. A single animal may have 30,000 or more quills! |
