Mountain Goat + Porcupine

A Prickly Climb With Occasional Scenic Views

The mountain goat's relentless ambition and the porcupine's defensive self-sufficiency make for a relationship that's less romantic comedy and more standoff at altitude. These two can absolutely respect each other — from a safe distance — which is convenient, since the porcupine prefers it that way. In friendship, they'll bond over their shared love of being left alone, which is either a solid foundation or a red flag, depending on your therapist. Romantically, if the goat can stop charging forward long enough to notice the quills, there's something real here — just approach slowly and maybe wear protection.
