"SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME"

North American Porcupine (3 Photos)

To paraphrase some of the words from  that beautiful song by George & Ira Gershwin,:

"I'm a little lamb (sorry that's porcupine) who's lost in the woods (well maybe not lost);

I know I would always be good;

To one who who'll watch over me ......."

And why is this porcupine asleep? (And has to be right up there for sweetness with regard to sleeping mammals!) It's probably because it's regular job, from dusk until dawn, is foraging n the woods and the fallen trees, for food, mainly bark and old plant matter at this time of year.

Perhaps, it's tiring and hard work  to be a Porcupine Super Model during the daytime hours.  See photos below. Blogs this weekend will continue this large rodent's escapades. (And yes, porcupines are members of the rodent family.)
