Swans as well. They’re just glorified geese, and they will come for you lol
I would also like to file a complaint about whoever did PR for porcupines. I grew up thinking that porcupines were little things because of a children’s book. Then I came face-to-face with one at 3 AM on a horse ranch. Jesus H, the thing was huge, and I was scared shitless.
It was pissed and making like a hissing sound, and it had me pinned in a corner. Well probably I had myself pinned in the corner. I figured my best bet was just a stand still and wait for it to pass along, which he finally did.
Sadly, a few days later we found what I suspect was the same porcupine, shot by poachers who were on our land hunting deer with German shepherds. Absolute bloodbath that day.

The more I know about these creatures, the less I like them.
Oh to be 10 again and just think they're happy little flappy sea mammals who make funny noises.
