A porcupine peaking out from behind a lodgepole pine near Willow Creek Pass in Colorado. We seldom see theses guys while out and about so this was a treat.

A treat indeed. How very adorable.
Hi Miriam, yes he is cute fellow but you gotta watch those quills.
Nice Mike! Love the “eye” standing out!
Thanks Reed, and we were lucky to get that eye as most of the time he was just hidden behind the branches.
What a treat – thanks, Mike!
Hi Adam, yes it was a treat. Porcupines are one those animals I remember seem much more frequently as a kid than I do nowadays.
Sweet capture, Mike. Rodents can be so cute, but boy, those teeth sure can make a mess of things!
Hi Eliza, yes we have seen tress with bark stripped by those teeth. Especially in the winter.
How gorgeous, wouldn’t you want to hug it!
HI Paula, well….I might take a pass on a hug from that guys…just saying’.
Lovely portrait.
Thanks Sherry.
So precious! I want one…
…and you can use those quill that fall out for pens.
LOL!
