Oklahoma ( American ) Porcupine (Visit this link)
People seldom see one of the state’s oddest mammals, the porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum). This is, in part, due to the solitary, nocturnal nature of the creature. Porcupines are concentrated mostly in the western one-fourth of the state, but are slowly spreading eastward. Porcupines are the second largest of Oklahoma’s rodents, with only the beaver being larger. They can reach weights of about forty pounds, and can be over three feet from head to tail.
