Photo of the Week - Oct 15/17 - "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FACE" - North American Porcupine
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FACE?" - (2 photos)
(North American Porcupine)
Seeing the close up of this porcupine's face, I now know why some children when they first see porcupines, think they are monkeys. (And oh so much personality.)
PHOTO #1
Porcupine"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FACE?"
And in response to that age old question, how does a porcupine get down from the tree? Backwards, of course. (And in response to the second question, the photographer was trying to gauge which way to run when it hit ground level. Luckily, it climbed onto a lower limb, out of the wind.)
