By T.J. Kastl, Gr. On our way to school, we saw something in a tree. When we got closer, we saw it was a porcupine. The word porcupine comes from the French. It means spiny pig.
Porcupines are slow moving and rather stupid.
When it is afraid or excited, the quills stand up. It eats bark, twigs, buds, and leaves. I had a pet fox when I was about 2 years old. He was so nice, my dad gave him fish. Most species of fox resemble a small, slender dog.
