Right, exactly.

Yeah, and that's probably partly why they don't have quills on the base of their tail and on their stomach as well. The other interesting evolutionary thing about the quills is they're antibiotic and antibacterial.

So you would sort of think that from a defense perspective, it would be great if they infected a mountain lion or a fisher or something that's trying to attack them, but because they quill themselves so much, the thinking is they evolved these antibacterial properties so that they wouldn't infect themselves or their mate.

They can be pretty long-lived. So Rose documented one that was like 20 years old, and they can live to 20 or 25 years in captivity.

If you live in a snowy area, that's kind of the best time to see them because their tracks are so clear. And so finding their tracks is a great way to find one. Otherwise, they create these nip twigs. So they'll sit in a tree and eat leaves all night. And they'll break a branch off, eat all the leaves, and then drop the branch to the ground.

So if you know what you're looking for, like a tree with a bunch of branches with leaves stripped off of them, that's probably a good place to look up. Otherwise, yeah, or just wait for your stupid dog to find one.

I just saw a paper that said that it was pretty breed-specific. Yeah.
