"SECRETIVE PORCUPINE ANATOMY"
Porcupine - 4 Photos
One of the blessings of wildlife photography is to give you an up close view of an animal's anatomy that you may not generally see (or not safely see!). Here are four photos showing some aspects of porcupines that one may never see.
PHOTO #1 - "What Lies Beneath" - You wouldn't want to be standing under a porcupine to check out the quills underneath its throat, etc.

PHOTO #2 - "Porcupines Do Have Soles!" - I have a pair of slippers with soles that look like this.
Porcupine - North American"CHECK OUT THOSE FOOT PADS!"
PHOTO #3 - "Pads & Claws"
Porcupine - North American"PADS & CLAWS"
PHOTO #4 - "Whiskers" - No, not the cat food!

Great job, Susan!
"Our" Chewie was really active that day. I have photos from the day before (I think), and he only opened one eye.
Should we collect money for the dentist for this poor guy? :)

Your patience was well rewarded with these images Susan. Another great series with notes. I was surprised to see the nose is completely covered in fur. Not bare skin like a dog or pig.
