The Porcupine


Some more photos of my visit to Cotswold Wildlife park a couple of months ago. One of the animals I saw was the Porcupine. Now to me I'd never seen any spiny animal any bigger than a Hedgehog so when I saw the Porcupine I was surprised as it was bigger than my Dog and the quills on its back really long, not only that it can shoot them out at predators any way I took a few and had a nice little surprise while doing it

Looking through the glass into the pen it lived
 
Another one which was outside
 
Cute little face
 
But what is this beside Mummy
 
 A couple of little critters looking to come out in the pen to see mummy
 
Please don't squish me

  1. I love these cute little guys, we don't have them here but we have hedgehogs and we always try to look out for them in the garden. They seem to love milk in a saucer.

  7. We have them here as well, but they tend to be quite elusive.

  8. Cute babies! I'll admit that the one time I saw a porky in the wild, it rather set my own hair on end. It also reduced me to an inarticulate "ah-ah-ah" and pointing.
