Snakes

Due to their tiny size and preference for living in wooded areas, porcupines are frequently hunted by a variety of predators. Hedgehogs can fall prey to foxes, weasels, and owls, nevertheless, porcupines have also been reported to meet their demise in a snake's coils.


Although it is not unusual for snakes to consume porcupines, they frequently avoid doing so because of the size of the animals and the sharp spines that protrude from their backs. In general, snakes won't bite a porcupine unless they're after it for food. Unfortunately, snakes will try to eat anything little, and scurrying crosses their way since they are not selective eaters by nature, this includes porcupines.


In a fight with a snake, mature porcupines have a better chance of surviving and may even hurt in the process. However, snakes are more likely to kill and devour juvenile porcupines, sometimes known as hoglets. Porcupines are immune to snake venom, which is remarkable, however, they are not immune to snake suffocation or snake eating tactics. The snake's chances of successfully digesting the animal increase if it is large enough to digest a tiny porcupine. And this happens a lot too.
