not true -- I have held a porcupine in my hand without wearing thick gloves....just made sure that you "pet" the right way...that happened when I was younger and was attending the lecture of the zookeeper at elementary school.
so regarding the "grapefruit" size, does this animal have beak? (since you stated that this animal can swim well)

I've never held a porcupine so my answer was based on what I've read about, and seen on nature shows. I know from those that the quills are painful and difficult to remove. I'm glad you've gotten to actually pet one! The only mammal with a beak that I know of is a platypus, which we just had. Are there others? And no, my animal doesn't have a 'beak' although it has a funny kind of nose. And YES! my animal is a Hedgehog. They hibernate AND are everywhere in the media! It's surprising how much they're used. Your turn, Set.

It is both a quadruped and a mammal!

It is not typically a mountain-dweller, and it is larger than a grapefruit.

You can find this animal in some zoos, but it's not particularly well-suited to zoo life, and not as popular as the more common zoo attractions.
It is not friendly, but neither is it aggressive (to people) or venomous.

Nope, it is not native to the land Down Under, where women glow and men plunder.

Is it built for running/retreating or standing it's ground/attacking?

Neither dromedary, nor bactrian, a camel it is not.
A little of both, Candlelight. It might run, but it also attacks, and it's body is designed for both.
It does not live in, or at all, climb trees.

I always found the nocturnal hunters to be the most difficult to see and they're usually not doing much even when they're still awake.
So, is it one of those, a nocturnal hunter?

So I assume from a previous answer that this animal was a member of Men at Work. Is this animal native to South America?

This animal is primarily nocturnal, and is not native to South America.
