“Porcupines are the third largest of the rodents, behind the capybara and the beaver. Most porcupines are about 25–36 (2’ to 3’) in length, with an 8–10 in long tail. And Weighing 12–35 lb.”

I’ve seen some well fed porcupines in zoos, some even larger than the one in the video.

Thanks....I watched the video again..what's really amazing is when it lies on it's back...presenting its belly...it's vulnerable part...to the lady..that shows how truly domesticated they are...

In the wild, the biggest predators or porcupines are stoats..they have learned to approach from the front, and bite the porcupine on the muzzle..
