Are those porcupines or hedgehogs?

posted by porpoise 12 May | 18:18

Regardless.. ooooohhhhh sooo ~~cuuute~~ kawaaaiiii

Not the same thing, and those are hedgehogs. And adorable!

And someone in the wiki has the same pic and apparently eats them. I can't remember who.

They look like little spiky vaginas. ADORABLE little spiky vaginas.

Good god, am I the only person who thinks those little pink feet are positively diabolical?

Bunnies, I am ashamed to report that as a young man working for the Green Mountain Club in Vermont, I killed many porcupines with a shovel. Their crime was eating outhouses (they like the salt), and I was judge, jury, executioner, and gravedigger, all with the same implement.

Specklet, you have crushed my soul. (For the record, I didn't post the pic, nor did I misidentify the animal.)

Mike, you got some 'splainin to do.

The spines are good for cleaning out the ol' digestive tract.
