I suppose a baby porcupine would look something like this ... I suppose a baby porcupine would look something like this ...INCREDIBLE! Not.
It would be cute were it not so ugly.
So cute.
My mom always says God made all babies cute so they would be taken care of.
Makes sense to me.
Purty little bugger ain’t it.
Are they born nose first?
Because... I never thought about how they gave birth, and may regret thinking about it at all.

Where will he get porcupine milk I wonder.
Better have it tested for rabies.
The first thing I noticed here in the Ozarks, after being dragged kicking and screaming from the Rocky Mountains, was the lack of porcupines. Lots of possums dead on the road, but no porcupines.
Once while walking near Little Rock, there was a dead possum, and around her lots of dead babies all run over by cars.
I still wish I was back in the Rockies! God I miss it! Too old to move.
He saved it so I guess now he’s stuck with it.
The department of fish and wildlife will be ther to destroy the baby to protect the baby.
This is the most exciting thing to happen in Maine for decades.
“Jared Buzzell, of Lisbon, says he was searching for wild mushrooms Thursday when he saw a porcupine get hit by a car in Minot. Buzzell says he’d heard that a valuable mineral deposit used in Chinese medicine formed in the stomachs of porcupines.
He then cut open the dead porcupine to search for the mineral and instead found the baby.”
I’m trying to follow the progression here. He’s looking for mushrooms, witnesses a fatal motor event involving a porcupine, recalls from the recesses of his brain that there is a certain “mineral” the Chinese harvest from recently deceased porcupines. Having no idea what the “mineral” is or what it looks like, he then makes the decision to go in anyway on an exploratory. The rest is history.
