    So cute! My first impulse is to hug it, but you know…

  4. blair says:

    there’s always room for snorgles

  5. Hikari says:

    My first impulse was to hug it too… if only that didn’t mean “pain”, I would already be there. *hugs the screen*

  6. Steph says:

    I bet that it feels like a peach, or like velvet. Same difference. I want to touch eet!

  7. Subhangi says:

    Bebehporkie! Too cute!

  8. Beautiful Drunk says:

    I sooooo want to touch that nose! It looks so velvety. Mmmmm… velvet…

    I also enjoy the way the white tips on the ends of his quills make him look like one of those fibre optic light thingies…

  9. newlee says:

  10. Hon Glad says:

    A velvet pin cushion.

  11. Alex R. says:

    Woah! It’s like a little pom-pom on his schnozzle! :)

  12. jessie says:

    Newlee – I totally agree. He’s Hello Porcupine.
    He’s also extremely cute! Way to post unusual animals, meg!

  13. nosotros says:

    someone should animate it…

  14. sharon says:

    *reaches out and gently and VERY CAREFULLY gives nose a soft kronsche*

    Anyone else notice the beady-eye-factor. About the only place to pet is the underbelly,including the armpits (or would that be front paw-pits???)

  15. Carlisa says:

    I must hug…no better not…must!…but what about the pointies?…MUST!….okay..okay…OUCH!…rubs fuzzy muzzle and runs…..

  17. Erin says:
  18. Cheryl says:

    What a puffy nose this little buddy has!

  19. Lizzums says:

    *giggles* At first I couldn’t figure out which end of the ‘pine I was lookin at. Then I spotted the BEF and I’m glad it’s the right end.

  20. luvinmalssomuch says:

    Want to snorgle the nose.

  21. Laura says:

    He looks like he shaved!

  22. Lillian says:
  23. kar says:

    Are you sure that’s his nose? That looks suspiciously like a clown one.

  24. bugmom says:

    I would love to keeess heem! Such a cute Mr. Pokeypants McPinknose!

  25. Helene says:

    Love the BEF! He’s totally cute, except for that nose. It kinda look like shaved testes.

    ::look at BEF and quills:: Aaaaahhnnnn

    ::looks at nose:: Uummm ::blushes::

  26. Yitzysmommie says:

    porky-pines ares soooo cute!

    on the show ace of cakes on the food network one of the girls was getting married at the zoo, and she had a porcupine at her wedding, and he was the cutest guest there!

    i only wish they were more cuddly and less like cactus, cause i’d totally make one mine!

  28. VaCKo says:

    Porcupines have such honkable noses!

  29. Annie Poonanny says:

  31. NYgirly says:

    omg his cute pink nose area got me!

  32. NYgirly says:

    “nutsac” by poonanny? eek

    oh about the link to the SFCC Teaching Zoo… that’s in Gainesville, FL where I moved from

    .oO home

  33. bookworm says:

    These are one of my favorite animals evah! I worked with one at a zoo years ago. Every day she woke up with “bed nose” and had to push it back into shape. She loved sitting on shoulders, but if she got spooked I ended up with a quill in my ear or scalp. Unfortunately, they do have a strong odor, but I can ignore that in the face of extreme sweetness.

  34. Amber says:

    And this from the lady who thinks possums are yucky. I don’t like him. Although it seems I’d be alone on that one…

  35. Jen Barnett says:

    I peecks heem up and uses heem as bingo markere.

  36. Emmerly says:

    Wow, it took me a good 30 seconds of staring before I found the BEF! But once I did, I was oriented, and I found that it indeed was cute. Otherwise the nosicle kinda looks like a babboon’s butt. Tee hee.

  37. Theo says:

    Jen B — I know this probably isn’t what you meant, but what the hey.

  38. Annie says:

    Sigh,,, what a cutie pie porcupine. Hmmmm there must be a play on words in there some where.

    Poke you pine.

    hehehe

  39. Zoe says:

    And being that I am well aquainted with a prehensile-tailed porcupine named Marty, I can tell you that it is the softest and **squishiest** of muzzlepowshes.
