I have seen North American Porcupines both at the zoo and in the wild! I tripped over one when I was at camp in Northern NH as a kid. The camp didn't have any lights on their paths so I couldn't see where I was going and just ended up tripping over him. I didn't get hurt or anything and the porcupine was able to run away. I wouldn't want to see one that close again!

This is a thread I have been meaning to reply to for ages, but I just haven't had the time to work on compiling my list of North American species. Now that it has resurfaced, I thought I'd take a shot at compiling it. I'm sure that I am missing some North American species, but these are at least the more notable ones. I have listed exact subspecies when known.
