The photos below are of five different porcupines of both sexes and various ages.
Perhaps, I have been spending too much time alone observing porcupines but their faces appear to be taking on more human attributes.
How can you look into the eyes and face of this creature and not recognize a sentient mammal.
We should remember we and by "we", I mean "furries & feathereds" as well as humans, are all sentient. We all experience joy, sadness, pain, etc.
And who could not resist that large furry rodent face :) !
