Don't feed the animals. Especially porcupines, they'll eat a hole in the side of your house to get at the food

Wait, really? I would like to know more about Porcu-facts.
They'll also pop holes in your tires in the winter trying to eat the road salt off of them.
This is great stuff. I mean, not for my tires. But in every other respect. Great.
Porcupines cannot throw their quills. Quills are modified hairs that are loosely attached. What they can do is bristle, raising the quills away from their body and making it more likely for the pointy bits to find a target. They can also slap with their tail, which also has quills.
Also gas lines and radiator hoses

#1: porcupines will chew through anything
Good news: where I live we don't build our houses out of paper and spit and I'd find it very entertaining to see a critter eat through a solid 40 cm of bricks and mortar.
Bad news: Where I live there are no porcupines :(
Oh my god the little sound when he had to pick up the baby.. "WEHH!"
