This photo is from August 2024. I was going to a friend’s house a bit out in the boonies and this porcupine was just following the trail. I pulled up right next to it for this photo and it paid me no mind. Definitely one of the more cute rodents we have. Unfortunately my friend’s two Cane Corsos got ahold of it a few days later and cost him $1500 at the vet. The porcupine got away mostly unscathed.
