- Where do you find a 30-pound rodent that climbs trees and can withstand winter temperatures that drop below -0˚ F?
- Rodents come in all shapes and sizes, from large to small, from covered in quills to completely naked.
- Porcupine quills are covered with tiny barbs that will pull the quill deeper and deeper into your skin.
- This rodent loves salt so much that it might eat your sweaty socks and lick your salty winter tires.
