vintage postcards
The porcupine is the third largest rodent after the capybara and beaver. King Solomon kept 300 of them as pets!
This antique postcard is especially spikey when enlarged. I am a sucker for old zoo cards. Don't touch! You might prick your finger:)
I found a video of a baby porcupine eating a banana. The little critter has the hiccups too!

That has GOT to be one of the most adorable things I've ever seen!! I had no idea they were so cute, and ... cuddly? Honest, he looks cuddly!
Marie, Love the zoo postcard! The next time I"m in Paris I'll have to visit their zoo (the list grows).
No, I didn't get your e-mail. Technology can be a pain.
Funny how he looks soft instead of prickly! Really cute!
Wow, the top picture and the video are so cute, but the ones in the second picture are kind of scary!
They are so cute when they are little but I bet they do pack a mean punch.
That porcupine just made my day!
They are so sweet looking and so ouchy to touch

Aaaaaah! That is so cute, Marie!
i am not too fond of these guys, rather cuddle a koala bear any day!
i never thought i'd think a porcupine eating a banana would be so cute.
But then again, almost all baby animals are cute. As you have said before marie, it's their defense for survival (like when toddlers do something wrong, they save themselves by giving you the puppy dog eyes!)
too cute! Hmmm. I wonder if (when hiccup-ing) he thought of singing the abc's?
