Placing a porcupine into a CT scanner tube - GIF

Man, I hope you have monetized your YouTube account. That first video has over 3 million views. I guess like any critter, taken as individuals they all have their own personalities. The main experience I have had with them is having to take my dogs to the vet for quill extraction. As they are nocturnal, that means the vet visit is after hours. That typically meant a base fee of $250 plus $2 per quill. That is from the dogs just going to say hi, not even attacking them.

Yes we were monetized maybe two years ago. The channel is old. We had that for about 14 years and nobody really paid attention to it. I used it like a scratchpad to share videos with people, but lately people started watching some animal videos.

The porcupines are incredibly gentle. Dogs usually say hi by pushing up against things, sniffing and licking. That's bad news if they're saying hi to a porcupine. I've never been quilled, but when I was growing up we had a few dogs that got into porcupines. They're pretty easy to get out unless the dog was biting at the porcupine. If they're inside the dog's mouth it can be bad, but usually you can just pull them out.
