Talk:Porcupine
From Academic Kids
I find no mention elsewhere of a hairynosed porcupine, and the species name is illegible. What is it supposed to be? -phma
What does it mean to be "less strictly nocturnal"? Less than what? :)
What are the male and female names for a Porcupine? A buck and a doe are male and female deer, for example. Anyone?
I think the porcupine is the third largest rodent: #1 - capybara, #2 - beaver. Is this correct?
Once the ranking of the porcupine in terms of size is completed [to the best of my knowledge it's probably capybara, beaver, porcupine, but I'm not certain], could the sentence "The porcupine is the third largest rodent, after the beaver." be fixed? Please? It's driving me nuts.

If somebody is up to it they can integrate How do porcupines make love? (http://paulding.net/porcupine.html):
- Young children should be banned from the university library basements. Sometimes the most improbable science is also the truest. Never stand close to cage which contains courting porcupines.
