And this pint-sized porcupette's name is… PIQUITO! 🥁♥️

Thank you to everyone who voted to help name our teeny tot. Piquito (pee-KEE-toh) means "little point" in Spanish, absolutely fitting for this spunky little one and their collection of tiny, sharp quills.

This curious adventurer is already showing their bold personality as they discovers the world around them. Keep an eye out for Piquito and mama Gracie in some of the many educational offerings around the Zoo.
