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

German Shepherds and Rottweilers. Those are ones that are more, you know, somebody went through old vet records and said, oh, these are the breeds that are more likely to do it. They stink. So porcupines have this really unique warning odor that smells like nothing I've ever smelled before. Really? And so I think dogs are definitely responding to that.

It definitely makes your day. It's great. I mean, you know, it's like you're walking around in the middle of summer at night in this beautiful dune forest. Like that's good enough on its own, but you don't really know when you're going to find the next one. And you're kind of struggling to get as many callers out as quickly as possible. So... seeing one is awesome.

They don't hibernate. I mean, summer, just for practical reasons, that's when students and I are not in class. But generally, they're nocturnal, and then they sleep in the day.
