Photo of the Week - "LIFE BELOW ZERO" (North American Porcupine)
"LIFE BELOW ZERO"
North American Porcupine - 6 Photos
Well I had someone else in mind for Photo of the Week and then this mammal appeared this afternoon. I caught him (let's call this porcupine a "him" for now) as he was ascending a tree, getting close to the top.
Other than his absolute cuteness, he deserves Photo of the Week. It took a lot of work to get to where he was going and oh my, you could just kiss that little snowy porcupine face. He didn't seem to be perturbed by the snow or the temperature. As you can see from the photos, the sky is a stunning blue but with those clear skies came temperatures of -32 degrees C with the wind chill factor.
Just call him "Frosty"!

Well deserved too, I didn't stick my nose out this weekend.
The Chewee looks so cute, especially the last photo with his head resting on the branch.
Congrats!!!
