Porcupines are known for eating berries, roots and the tender layer of tissue beneath the bark of trees, which can cause trees to fall, creating dead wood and providing habitats for other critters, in turn opening up the tree canopy in the process to make room for a great diversity of species to thrive.
Baby Porcupines are called Porcupettes and born between April and June.
Porcupine medicine represents Faith and Trust. To believe in the Unseen and the promises of the Divine by firm conviction and assurance.
