This is the kind of thing i would NEVER have seen if it were not for VS and the net. The world has truly changed.

When a porcupine hiccups its cute. When it sneezes it impales everyone in the room.

Siftbot you are so stern sounding! Arvana, removed from cats and dogs because this is more fitting to Nature as porcupines are not domesticated (at least not very often)

^I shared a bed with a porcupine for 3 years. ... my first wife! (buh-dum-ching)

Jesus made all mammals cute when they're small, so that bigger things have a harder time coming along and smashing them for fun.

its science...

upvoted without watching it!

uh?

this IS domesticated, is indoor, in a house... nature is for wildlife only, isn't it?

$@!%Q#T^$Y@H%WT#^YENHRGBDF CUTE!
shameless vote whoring for shure, but it made me implode with glee so upvote

cute and nature seemed like good channels for this.

"This IS domesticated, is indoor, in a house... nature is for wildlife only, isn't it?"

Domesticated means bred to accompany/serve/be under control of man. You can raise a baby porcupine/bear/squirrel, but they're still just one-off of the wild stock... *nature. Its probably being fed in the back of a wildlife rehab nature center by employees, btw.

(... just checked the youtube notes and indeed they're rehab people; mother was hit by a car; it'll probably live at a nature center somewhere, as its unlikely it'll develop the skills to survive in the wild.)

lol - arvana, isn't Nature your channel???

But I agree with looris - unless you plan on changing the channel description. There's nothing here about "the natural state of wild animals".

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Are you sure this is a pet? Might the handler be a wildlife vet?

Are you asking me dag? I have no idea, but it's definitely not in it's "natural state".

ooh, hard call... I probably would have let it stay in w/ the pets since it's being raised and obviously socialized w/ it's human "parent" here.

But, it's ultimately the channel manager's call. YDJ didn't see it as a pet, but a rescued wild animal that most likely will live in a park or zoo facility.

the move of the porcupine is so humanlike then i am tempted to say his fake, but like i believe in the secret intelligence of animal i will upvote instead.

jesus didn't make the animals cute.

i did.

*that's* science

Yay for pipp! Maybe you can figure out which channel this should be in!!!

I've actually modified the Nature channel description to include videos like this, since they seem to keep getting added in there anyway. You can't fight Nature!
