Just a friendly tree watching you

This porcupine was just hanging out 70+feet up in the Ponderosa Pine over the trail.. . If it wasn't so big there was no way I could have seen it.

Almost looks like a longhaired Koala!

my first thought was koala too! I never knew they could climb trees!

[Joan Robillard]

Great catch

[Wendy]

Super shot! The prickly quills blend in with the prickly needles of the pine so well!

Super capture with great textures

@yorkshirekiwi @koalagardens Which would be worse to handle in your opinions? These have the big orange beaver teeth, claws to climb up trees, and covered in quills.

Nice find. Beautiful capture.

@joansmor To be honest, the only reason I was looking is that it was near a Great Horned Owl nest from last year... Now I am wondering how many I have missed.

Beautiful shot of that echidna!

@teriyakih your wins, those quills I believe are nasty, so getting an injured or sick one out of a tree would be a huge challenge!
