Porcupines have approximately 30,000 sharp quills on their bodies, and although they might seem vicious, porcupines are actually timid creatures. Contrary to popular belief, these creatures don't go out of their way to quill people or pets. Those who are quilled by a porcupine are quilled because they came into direct contact with the animal, and the porcupine was only trying to protect itself. People cannot be impaled by a porcupine throwing quills. In short, they are dangerous if you somehow fall on a porcupine, but are not poisonous by any means.
