Went out looking for Ptarmigans today, but found a northern porcupine crossing the road in front of us. They don't run particularly fast (actually, they don't run at all. They sort of amble sedately from point A to point B).
Contrary to belief, they do not actually shoot quills. They do however, wave their tail around when cornered. If you're foolish enough to get close to them, then you get a face full of quills, as many dogs can testify.
