I think they are brave because evolution have not favoured fear in these animals because they are naturally protected anyway from their spikes. Hence. A brave porcupine is not likely to get killed. Normally bravery gets you killed in the animal kingdom which is why fear evolves.
I have encountered porcupines so many times in my own backyard; they are surprisingly very social and curious animals. They come right up to me and aren't even afraid of my doberman (she's a lot more scared of them actually haha). They even go as far as tapping and clawing at my back sliding door, knowing i'll give them corn bread :D
@FinalHeavenVII Hmm thank you, if the time ever comes, and I'm living in a place with porcupine's, I'll consider taking one in as a pet, and of course not tell anyone, cause we all know Illegal pet laws are silly.
I've never seen a porcupine in real life (I'm not sure I'd want to see one this close!) so I don't know how they normally behave. But it's really weird for any wild animal to approach people like this. Wild animals have an instinctual fear of humans and would prefer to keep their distance. And that's better for them and us. I'm thinking someone must have fed this porcupine or done something else to make him lose his fear of humans. Yeah, he's cute but this is NOT good for them.
@ct92404 I have seen porcupines in real life... and if a porcupine, or a bear, or a raccoon learn where a food source is they will return again and again. Thats all this is. It looks like they are near a ski-hill and the animal has probably gotten used to being fed by skiers.
The two top comments are stupid. Its a wild animal that your NOT supposed to feed specifically for this reason. So shut up. It can take care of itself.
Why does everyone copy the ideas that are presented in the first two top comments? You're not gonna get the most likes if you conform, assholes. Be original. I see like 23565624092385 people with the whole "STOP BACKING UP FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF U R NEGLECTIING IT DOOD"
It's like, "Come on! I just have a bunch of spikes that hurt really bad when they pierce your skin! Other than that, I am totally lovable. Why won't you just give me a hug?"
But that's kinda sad, though, don't you think? He's not attacking you or anything. If the people filming the porcupine had some food, I think they would do a great favor by feeding the porcupine some stuff. He looks hungry :( well at least to me the porcupine does. Haha.
@kztar621 Ya but I never said I would pet it bare handed, that angel girl is just an idiot who likes to add in words that weren't there in the first place.
Why are they so scared? if they run and jump around it, it will get scared and might attack. they are not dangerous they will only attack/defend if scared, but do not pat it on it's back :D quite obvious.
very lucky people you could have pet that one all you would have had to do is sit and let him sniff you and make sure he can see you at all time and you'l not get quilled i aht pet lots of them up here in Canada juts pet his under belly or his cheeks the rest is off limits
@crosswind76 EXACTLY! I kept talking at the video the whole time, saying, he doesn't want a stupid hug, he wants some food and is obviously been fed by humans in the past as he seems to be totally used to them and has the whole begging thing down pat hahaha Very cute, and yes, I "did" want to hug him anyway hehehe ;)
@crosswind76 I was thinking the same thing :(. Either that or where ever this family is at is a touristy area and the animals are used to getting fed by people. But that would make you right anyway, he/she is probably hungry :(.
So how exactly is one supposed to hug a porcupine without touching the spines? Otherwise I'd be snuggling the hell out of the little fella :)

"that's a beaver not a porcupine..."
@dragoniaXAslihian :
Both animals are rodents & both eat the
growth part of tree bark. Porcupines eat
via climbing living trees while Beaver cut
them down before gnawing the bark off.
Now, which one has quills & which one
