On the list of “least welcome critters,” many Mainers would put the porcupine somewhere between ticks and skunks. Dan Crocker of Exeter said he’s never had much use for them, either.

That’s beginning to change, at least a little bit for him though, thanks to a baby albino porcupine that he’s been seeing on his property.

“We spotted an adult porcupine last Monday high up a hemlock tree on the edge of the back yard and it had a large white patch on its back,” Crocker said. A while later, we thought we saw it again in the same tree but very close to the ground.”
