Baby Porcupine Eats a Banana. Really.

This baby porcupine - also called a porcupet - eats a banana. Really.

The tiny squeaks are hiccups.

The video poster writes that his mother was killed when she was hit by a car and he has been cared for by a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Good for her.

The orphan porcupine is now living at a nature center in northern Minnesota. What this proves is there is a place for each creature.

And a place for cute videos.

Ididn't know porcupines had such manueverable paws .. seems more like what squirrels do with nuts

Hi Sharon,

Great stuff. Does the porcupine have a name, and how is he doing?
