What Is: Young, Fuzzy And Can Prick YOU??
BABY PORCUPINE!!!! :D



One of the Smithsonian's National Zoo's newest arrivals, a baby prehensile-tailed porcupine, gets a quick health check by the Zoo's veterinarian before being returned to its parents.

12. Are you serious?
Because I think I can drive to Pittsburgh.... ;)

No hard feelings if you're not serious, of course.

But if you are, be warned: They're semi feral.

15. How feral? Well...
They're used to house life and get along with other cats just fine. But they won't be picked up, and if you try they'll fight you. Very, very, very hard.

13. Yikes! What's the upside of being a momma porcupine?!!
I can't imagine giving birth to and nursing such a spikey critter is anything remotely comfortable.
