The newest addition to Stone Zoo may just be the cutest one yet! See video of this adorable porcupette here:
Per standard procedure, an animal management team and veterinary staff are monitoring Prickles and her little one closely. Experts at the zoo believe the baby to be male and report it is"healthy and alert" after a medical exam performed Monday.
Shadow, the baby's father, is an ambassador animal at Stone Zoo trained to interact with people and encourage positive experiences with wildlife. The purpose of ambassador animals is to inspire people to protect nature, the Stone Zoo staff said in a news release. The baby is classified as a prehensile-tailed porcupette, a kind of porcupine with hair that is initially reddish-brown and soft quills that harden with time. According to experts, the porcupettes are independent and nocturnal. Found in South American forests, they have powerful tails that can cling onto branches as they swing through trees.
The animals are mobile almost immediately after birth, so visitors may be able to spot this porcupette hanging on a tree in its exhibit in the Windows to the Wild habitat in the coming days.
