......The real problem for a male porcupine is not getting intimate with the
female but surviving the bar fights with his male rivals beforehand.
Researcher Roze reports coming upon the scene of an interporcupine slugfest
where three males had fought it out for the favors of one female. The ground
was littered with nearly 1,500 quills and a few more could be seen in the
nose of the apparent victor. How much easier to be a male human, where all
you have to do to ensure reproductive success is buy a Mercedes.
