I got a lizard! At 176.000 lbs and 160 knots, it didn't stand much

Last year a Horizon Dash 8 hit a porcupine. It was dark and the
nosewheel was right on the centerline. He said..."Tower, we just hit
something, you better send somebody out to see what it was." The
vehicle driver couldn't tell by what was left on the runway what this
particular life form started out as. The Horizon pilot confirmed it
when he said he pulled a bunch of quills out of the nosewheel.
