We’re prickled with excitement to see our prickle out and about on habitat! 🦔
Our African crested porcupine mom ‘Caleefa’ and dad ‘Bristle’ have been venturing more onto habitat with their little one (who has not yet been sexed). Did you know that this species is monogamous and both parents take part in raising the young? 🥰 With mom and dad nearby, the porcupette is growing more confident and curiously explores its environment every day.
Stop by the African Savannah Building to meet the family! 👋
