What cute names for a pair of Mama and baby porcupines.
Did you know? Baby porcupines are called porcupettes. Also, they are able to move around right when they are born, making them precocial, or ready to follow their mother right away. They depend on their mother for a short time and are usually ready to live on their own after about six months.
Porcupines are solitary slow moving animals that generally keep to themselves unless threatened.
