Did you know that it’s a myth about porcupines shooting out their quils? There’s no species that can do so! 🦔 #porcupine #porcupinequills #porcupinesoftiktok #porcupines #africancrestedporcupine #fyp #xyzbca

Our African Crested Porcupines enjoying an afternoon of pumpkin enrichment courtesy of our friends at @Tinez Farms. Clearly they are working overtime to maneuver and transport into the comfort of their habitat being they are nocturnal animals, usually spending their daytime hours in dens, coming out to forage by night - but the temptation of the pumpkins was too good to resist. #enrichment #pumpkins #africancrestedporcupine
