Porcupines

Porcupines are large, spine covered rodents that like a diet high in salt. Those in the Americas sometimes choose to live in trees, even though their distant relatives in Africa, Europe, and Asia prefer more grounded lifestyles. In the Order: rodent and Class: Rodentia, they need to gnaw constantly. Typical questions relate to the porcupine's uses of its quills, survival threats, preferred foods, interactions with people and wildlife, geographic ranges, and defensive behaviors.

Playing golf on the moon?

Asked by Wiki User

Golf on the moon would be different due to the moon's lower gravity and lack of atmosphere. Players would be able to hit the ball much farther, and shots may travel in a more linear path. However, the lack of air resistance could make it difficult to control the speed and direction of the ball. Players would need to adjust their technique and equipment for optimal performance.
