“The Porcupine That Didn’t Like To Get Its Paws Wet, Part 1”

We have a small stream of water that runs through our property on its way to the brook. It’s a great spot for a #trailcam. This past summer I began to see footage of this one #porcupine that REALLY didn’t like having to cross this tiny width of water.

To be continued…

This is a 20 second video of a large porcupine ambling its way down a forested trail until it stops at a small stream of water. It’s about 10 inches across but the porcupine is NOT going to just walk in. Instead it looks at several crossing spots before determining one is ok. But still it slowly lowers one front paw in and pulls it back. Then another. You can almost see the sheer repulsion on its face. Finally it is able to cross without getting wet. The video is black and white and recorded during the night.

Cat lovers have to put up with the occasional dead mouse left on their doorsteps, the gifts that our dogs bring us are another thing entirely!

They will nurse for more than 3 months, while beginning to eat local vegetation. Maybe they’re born with it. They are.

Baby porcupines are born with quills, which actually take several hours to dry before becoming usable as protection. Should you ever offer a baby porcupine a belly rub? No. Just no. Touching a wild thing does not make everything groovy. Good point. 2/2

My porcupine sona! I rlly like tanukis but I don't feel like they represent me well. Porcus are one of my fav animals too ^^

Most of the time her quills lay flat, it only comes out when she feels threatened or furious. It's hidden somewhere in her hair. Pat at your own risk.

My brown porcupine sona! Most of the time her quills lay flat, hidden in her spiky hair. It only sticks out when she feels threatened or furious. She likes to wear neutral colored clothes, just like me irl. She also has a pair of gold earrings

Back in the day when it was considered "cool" to have an edgy evil anti version of your main OC/sona I had one of my own. Here he is, the evil AU version of Funnel who's just known as "Vortex"

I could go on how the timelines diverged but I'll keep it short. Basically, while Funnel is a laid-back, calm, individual who's a free spirit and doesn't let the world get to him Vortex is a cruel, cynical, dictator who was corrupted by the world

Everyone has their favorite special treat, Funnel (my fursona) is no exception! One of Funnel's many simple pleasures is munching on an ear of corn in the afternoon!

I got a new camera and went away for the weekend. I was walking around because my mom suggested I take a picture of the sunset. As I was walking closer to get a better view, I heard something... It sounded like a rodent, and I knew there were groundhogs nearby, so I followed it. Turns out, it was a young porcupine! #CanonR7 with 24-105 f4, turned out to be more like 168mm with the cropped sensor, so that's still pretty close. #porcupine #photography #wildlifephotgraphy

Just a tiny prehensile-tailed #porcupine called #Wilbur eating a slice of #banana 😂🍌🙌
He lived in the #OutOfAfricaWildlifePark in #Arizona and he was very loved for his kind and gentle nature and for his love of snacks. At 12 years old, he passed peacefully and will be missed dearly and he will never be forgotten.

We went to out to the Camas National Wildlife Refuge (near Hamer, Idaho) this evening and saw five of these porcupines waddling around eating off the ground. I watched and photographed this one for awhile. Apparently, it had enough.

I considered saving this for #thicktrunktuesday since the tree itself is huge. I heard the scrabble sound of claws on bark right beside me in the dark. Turned and there it was. A big #porcupine. #Nature #Trees #Mulmur #Forest
