The prickly one

I was so surprised to see this critter at eagle encounters. It has been there for a couple of years but has always been hiding.

A couple of weeks ago it gave birth and since then it seems to be after food all the time.

They are strange animals aren't they. It looks like a cross between a hedgehog and an echidna.

Lots of babies to feed, makes mom a very hungry porcupine! Those quills truly look dangerous. Good shot!

Must have been exhausted after giving birth having to build up her strength to the rear the new arrivals. Nicely captured.
