@elmwoodparkzoo: The power of science is amazing! Porcupines can’t actually shoot their quills, that’s a myth. What they can do is release them when touched or brushed against. Their quills detach easily, and because they’re barbed and hooked, they can lodge into skin and be difficult, and sometimes dangerous, to remove. Let’s stick to the facts this #AprilFools #AprilFoolsDay #Porcupine #Zoo #AnimalFacts
