Uruguay's M’Bopicuá Breeding Station keeps surprising us with births we haven't seen anywhere else. Here we have a gentle Paraguayan Hairy Dwarf Porcupine. Born with soft fur that turns into hard spines with age, these porcupines live in trees eating fruits and vegetables and dig into ant nests for dessert.

Good thing for Mom Porcupine that they are born with soft fur.
So cute. Am always amazed at nature's variety. Thanks.

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to post a mammal that I have never even heard of. Well done.
