"A STAR IS BORN"

Porcupine (4 Photos)

To me, it's amazing, that a porcupine with its dark furry face can be so expressive.

PHOTO #1 - "Fabio" - (Am showing my age here - for those that remember the Italian supermodel who did shampoo ads!)

PHOTO #3 - "K-9 Alert" - Part 1 - There was a very aggressive dog barking at another one passing on a path quite a distance away. No danger to the porcupine in the tree but enough of a noise to wake a porcupine from its slumber and take a more defensive pose. (Please remember to keep dogs on leads when in the Provincial & National Parks to keep all parties safe and non-stressed.)
