I've also seen a really cute video of a porcupine eating a banana (or some type of fruit). But THAT one had quills....and he talked.....
'Not as good as the previous video, but was it this video?

What are porcupines "good" for?

They keep Fisher cats in good health.

'Wondering how they removed those quills.

Perhaps with a pressure-cleaner?
