The quills are very light and act as a life preserver which helps them float when they swim. The quills also offer a cushion if the porcupine were to fall from a tree.

Porcupines' quills are basically hollow, helping these little critters float on water. Although many species of porcupines are avid swimmers, others avoid the water.
