Today is World Porcupine Day! Watch our African cape porcupines, Pez and Moyo, enjoy their daily diets tucked inside paper tubes that were beautifully painted by our Zoo members.
Turn up the volume so you catch the satisfying crunch of their powerful front teeth! As the second-largest rodents in the world (behind the capybara), porcupines have teeth that never stop growing. That's why they need plenty of safe items to chew and gnaw on to help keep those teeth healthy.
💖 What do you love most about porcupines? Their cute noses? Their impressive quills? Tell us in the comments!
🦛 Unlike those other calls, this one is actually worth answering.
