I have seen North American Porcupines both at the zoo and in the wild!

I tripped over one when I was at camp in Northern NH as a kid. The camp didn't have any lights on their paths so I couldn't see where I was going and just ended up tripping over him. I didn't get hurt or anything and the porcupine was able to run away. I wouldn't want to see one that close again!
