what's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW....

the pricks are on the outside of the porcupine

*howto as well. That must be a tame porcupine they took to the wild. I've never met one in the wild that wasn't stressed around people

I'm happy that I have run into bears here. It makes me feel like our area isn't as devoid of wildlife as many places are.
We have all those listed, plus skunks, possums, gophers, salamanders, elk, and yes, bears. Once I even saw a porcupine walking down the highway.
Twice I've had bears cross a river less than 50 ft from me while I was fishing just blocks from home, and before I built my fence they ravaged my apple trees every year with the elk and deer.
It's still a possibility that a bear is what paralyzed our puppy in our yard last June. We never found out what happened to her, and she's not talking, but she is up and walking.

Normally I don't feel terrible for most animals in this type of situation.. They usually have a good amount of space, free food, and don't have to worry about predators.

This, however, looks like they're keeping that octopus in an incredibly small space

It'd be like keeping a porcupine at the zoo in a shoebox.

Well played porcupine, well played!

Good thing they weren't in North Porcupine

Porcupines are so cute and cool up close, and surprisingly familiar with humans-They don't spook easily, no doubt an attitude adaptation from having that impenetrable, spiny, predator eliminator suit.

God, what is that cute noise, a..aH..OwwWWitch!

It's a surprise just how talkative porcupines are...noisy little bastidges, I swear.
