Thank you!
Actually, I took this photo in the Montreal Biodome. I have spotted a porcupine in the wild before but only once.
I've never once seen a porcupine in the wild. Good find!....and Welcome
Amazing! I had no idea that they could do that..but then Groundhogs climb too!!..
Thanks!
It was quite neat to find them in a tree! Apparently, porcupines can climb trees. Usually at the sign of danger but this guy (or girl) looked like they were just resting up there.
I didn't know that they could climb either!
Great spot & welcome to Project Noah!
wow, I had no idea they could climb like that! Around here I've seen them hiding under big sword ferns.
