Porky Pine Line

..                                       male
                                        female  
                                     porcupines 
                                    preoccupied
                      with mating, a prickly proposition    
 
              the young ones will be respected and feared
                                   waddling slowly
                                       purposely
                                        tranquil
                                          quills
