Meet the New Porcupette at San Diego Zoo | San Diego News
Description
A baby porcupine, or porcupette, just made its debut at the San Diego Zoo — born in June to parents Gracie and Picante. Covered in reddish-orange fuzz for camouflage and protection, this tiny cutie is still mastering the world behind the scenes, though you might catch a glimpse if you’re lucky. Porcupines are nocturnal, adaptable, and armed with over 30,000 keratin quills — nature’s ultimate defense. Gracie, a wildlife ambassador, usually greets visitors, but her little one’s keeping it low for now.
