Porcupine Spirit Animal and Ancient Symbols of Story telling and Myth Porcupine is an ancient symbol of storytelling and myth, representing gathering of the tribe and telling the stories of the hunters and gatherers, the elders and the children imparting their experiences and encounters.
The porcupines found in North and South America are good climbers and spend much of their time in trees. Some even have prehensile (gripping) tails to aid in climbing. The North American porcupine is the only species that lives in the U.S. and Canada, and is the largest of all porcupines.A single animal may have 30,000 or more quills. North American porcupines use their large front teeth to satisfy a healthy appetite for wood.here are about two dozen porcupine species, and all boast a coat of needle-like quills to give predators a sharp reminder that this animal is no easy meal. Some quills, like those of Africa's crested porcupine, are nearly a foot (30 centimeters) long.
