ブチギレながらごはん食べてるヤマアラシ。担当以外のスタッフさんがくるとこうなるらしいです。注射のときに押さえつける係とかしか接点がない人はめちゃくちゃ嫌われるらしい。「あいつがくるとよくないことが起こる」と思うんだって🤣ここのスタッフさんたちはいろいろ教えてくれて楽しい。

He was eating his food in a rage. His back is saying just that. It seems that staff other than the Porcupine caretaker provoke this reaction when they approach. People who only have contact when restraining for injections are especially disliked. 'Bad things happen when that person comes!' Despite the dedication of all the staff, it's a bit pitiful 😂 The staff's talk at this zoo is so informative and fun.

Crested porcupine.

Fact from the African Wildlife Foundation: The word porcupine means “quill pig” in Latin; however, porcupines are large rodents and have no relation to pigs. Porcupines are the largest and heaviest of all African rodents. The head is roundish and rather domed, with a blunt muzzle and small eyes and ears. The legs are short and sturdy, and each foot has five toes, all equipped with powerful claws. Their most recognizable feature is, of course, its quills. Quill length varies on different parts of the body, ranging from 2.5 to 30.5 centimeters (1 to 12 inches). Usually, the quills lie flat against the body, but if danger threatens, they raise and spread them. Scales on quill tips lodge in the skin like fishhooks and are difficult to pull out. New quills grow in to replace lost ones.

I love how these two porcupines are sat together almost in the shape of a heart! Taken at a local wildlife park in 2018.

I wanted a physically capable, early game normal type but was struggling to think of a candidate until I remembered I really like Cape porcupines. Originally three stages, the middle stage wasn't really different enough so I scrapped it. Guinib live in small herds that huddle together when in danger, creating a phalanx of spines predators find difficult to negotiate. Considered friendly, if not high-strung, they can make good pets once accustomed to people but will always have an anxious nature. Stabbybara are more inclined to wander alone, rarely congregating in numbers greater than two. Much more confident than their younger bretherin and more difficult to tame, they can be quite ornery in the face of danger and eager to face a challenge with their barbed spines. --Attack Info-- --Ability Info--

Porc-épic à crête - Son dos est couvert de plus de 3000 piquants au pointes aiguisée. Pour se défendre, il s'appuie d'abord sur le dissuasif en hérissant sa crinière située en haut du crâne. Si cela ne suffit pas, il grogne, gratte le sol, puis attaque en se déplaçant à reculons ou latéralement en présentant son postérieur et dégaine sa queue couverte de piquants, qui se détachent facilement pour se planter dans la peau de l'adversaire, pouvant produire une septicémie.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Although adult crested porcupines aren't anything to mess with, they don't start out that way! Baby porcupines, also known as porcupettes, are born with soft quills. These quills harden over the next several hours, and by the time they're a day old each porcupette is well equipped to defend themself against predators-- though they won't venture out of their den for another week or so.
