IT HAD BEEN YEARS SINCE I SAW ONE OF THESE

What a crazy, peculiar creature!

During my last trip to Wisconsin, I noticed an animal crossing the road. I slowed and moved over since I was not on a busy road, and once I realized what it was I tried to get a couple of good photos of it. Unfortunately, I only got a couple of photos and kind of left the "good" out of it, but you can still tell that it was indeed a porcupine. I wish I could have checked it out a little more closely, but it was still cool to see! Here are the other couple photos of it leaving the road. Enjoy!

A COUPLE MORE PORCUPINE PHOTOS

Until next time…

    They roam our area all the time. I have had them on the farm a few times but mostly I see them as road kill. I have stopped at a number of the roadkill and gathered hand fulls of quills. I have a ziplock full of them now. About 5 or 6 years ago my old dog got into it with one and ended up filling his mouth and snout with quills. That was not fun and he was screwed up for a good couple weeks after the vet visit and removal.

          No "proof of porcupine" by holding it on your hand this time? :)
