I’ve always thought that porcupines were prickly customers, but here’s one that’s guaranteed to melt your heart!
He might be covered in spines, but Stinkers seems completely unaware that he’s a wild porcupine! Instead he behaves much more like the family dog, begging for belly rubs and a bit of rough and tumble!
This five-year-old critter originally lived as someone’s pet, and now has residence at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. It seems like an arrangement that Stinkers enjoys, as he gets apple treats and plenty of loving scratches!
I’d never thought about owning a porcupine before, but this video has me wanting one!
