I just read an interesting article in the BATHROOM READER WONDERFUL WORLD OF ODD. It is the pre-sexual rituals of Porcupines.
Here is a brief summary:
When a female porcupine decides on her mate she will start moping around him. The male, when he realizes she is flirting with him will follow her around singing in a whiny high-pitched voice.
Finally when the moment is ready the male stands on his rear two feet and hoses her with a powerful stream of urinal, drenching her from head to toe.
She then lets out her own high pitched scream and attacks and runs him off, or turn her body up exposing her non-quill area, which is an invite to get down to business.
Caution to humans: Don't try this at home.
