North American Porcupine

Erethizon dorsatum

Description:

Usually more active at night, i was surprised to see this porcupine walk right by my campsite. I had never seen one in broad daylight, except in zoos.

yes ! as they are really slow, i was able to get within a safe distance, i really wanted to show how they are litterally covered with quills. Their only vulnerable part is the face.
