In honor of all-things-spiky, here's an Giant African Porcupine we found hanging out under our deck last year. Yeah, we were kinda surprised. He loved apples. Turns out he was an escapee from the petting zoo.

he's adorable, but i have a minor observation.
he doesn't seem to be the most qualified animal for a petting zoo...
I'm so jealous of that bird pic! I think I must hate you for being so talented!I took them last week while on vacation![]()
LOL..no one believes me,but they had a porcupine at a petting zoo I went to as a kid...he was huge,and oddly enough their quills a not so much a soft as they are oily. (his were at least) Very sweet animal,calm....I suppose that was cause he was "tame". I can't imagine if they'd let a mad porcupine out around kids. I can see it now..."Johnny, behave & stop annoying your sister or we'll take to to see the mad porcupine and have him quill you!"
I just spit soda out of my mouth reading this!! Thanks alot, itorethesky!!![]()
