Thanks! Yes they are cute when you aren't too close to them. 😀
They do look cute here….but me thinks doggies don’t think so when they get a snoot full of quills after chasing one down’
Yes, you are right!
So dear, and funny. Is she trying to find relief from all those hungry babies?

Not sure but it is definitely a female.
Intrigued to see this tree porcupine so different from the ground dwelling African species. Are they often sighted? Nocturnal?
The North American porcupine spends a lot of its time on the ground. They are mostly nocturnal so they aren't seen often. For pictures I took of one in the sagebrush steppe and more info on their life history, see one of my posts on them here: https://bendbranches.com/2016/04/17/pins-needles/
