Answer:

Hedgehogs are much smaller than porcupines, have a sharp pointed nose (as opposed to the blunt, rounded nose of a porcupine), and have much stouter quills. The quills on a porcupine may be as long as a foot and have barbs on the end that stick into the skin of a brave, if naïve predator.

Answer:

  • Hedgehogs have about 5,000 spines, whereas porcupines have about 30,000. Perhaps the most noticed difference between hedgehogs and porcupines is how they use their quills to defend themselves. Hedgehogs will roll into a ball and erect their spines so that no part of their soft body is showing.
