He's practicing using his tail to defend himself. You can clearly see him whip his tail against the cage door at 0:17. He tries to whip it against the left side of the cage at 0:25 but the little guy loses his balance - lol! Very cute to us, but serious business for him.
Oh my gosh!!!! Shoooooo cute!!!!!! He looks like he's doing a little dance... "Look at my tail I can shake it!" lol And who are the 3 idiots who voted thumbs down? lol ^_^
I wonder, my ignorance, shouldn't he have an huge and very dangerous quill? maybe it's the camera but it looks almost harmless. I would be scared to see him getting his quill up otherwise.
The quills of a porcupine are always present, it's just a matter of whether or not they are "spiking" them (making them stick outwards). If they are calm and docile, the quills will rest flat across the back. So yes, it's possible that a porcupine will "spazz" while you're petting it and you'll get pricked.
@Insaneymaney A porcupine's spines are always present. It's a common misconception that porcupines "shoot" spines. Their fur and spine combination is always present, but they react kinda likea cat and they "bristle" their fur - making it all stand on end. At least that's what I can remember. Hope it helps. :)
@Insaneymaney no the spikes are actually in the middle of his hair yes its hair not spikes that you see his really quills are in the middle of his back
@Insaneymaney Porcupines have soft hair which is mixed in with quills. These quills lie flat until the porcupine feels threatened, during which the quills leap to attention. Porcupines do not shoot their quills, but the quills come out easily.
that's a cute little dance right there! it's so cute that it almost looks like he's humping the side of the cage o_O but overall he's so cute! more videos please ^^
omg this is really neat to see! I think that petting him is a lot like petting a headgehog although hedgehog quills are shorter, it's easier to pet a procupine or hold him when his quills are all lying flat and it would take practice not to get pierced
so cute

@ChronoPhoenix 1. It's a baby porcupine (hence the term porcupet)
2. Porcupines stick out their quills when threatened.

Someone please answer:
Is a porcupine only pointy when you threaten it, so then its needles come out?
So then, if that is true, is it possible that if you're trying to pet it, and it spazzes when you touch it, then its spikes will come out??

I think it's just really the diminutive term for immature porcupines, like cat/kitten or dog/puppy -- porcupine/porcupet.
No?
