Stickers the Porcupine in Telluride

[ilikepie393]

I've seen tons of porcupine in Telluride

[PrickyKorv]

Thumbs up if you found this 'cus you were browsing through Porcupine Tree-videos!

[guyverX1]

So did the porcupine stink, is that way they didn't pet him? Cause he looks hilarious to me.

[SaschaJoy]

Poor thing! Imagine, all you want is a pat and a cuddle but everywhere you go people jump out of your way!

[10samm10]

@SaschaJoy If you touch it you'll need some band aids.

[Stiletos]

Finally at the end someone is not a complete chickenshit. I have had to deal with alot of porcipines, getting them out of my yard. Even when they are aggresive or scared they are not overly dangerous. This one is a giant suck.

[N2thedrink]

I bet he'd taste gooooood! mmm, the other dark meat.

[Frogbend]

Don't rub him the wrong way! For the misinformed, porcupines need to gnaw (tree bark is their natural food) in order to keep their teeth from overgrowing and killing them. They are giant rodents. Human food is not suitable to their dentition type. They are very slow moving, but when you're a walking pincushion, you don't need to be fast.

[Geckotwins123]

I met him in person he's super nice he just wants food. But don't feed him!!!!

[FunnyWarningStickers]

[cherd1971]

[shinnyshinnytinfoil]

[SuperGrrrrr]

i dont know where stickers came from. His names actually George. Just sayin...

[dbertobis]

He's a great example. Animals do have the Solomon's ring and use it!

[kimbis]

At the zoo where I volunteer we had a porcupine trained docents could "handle" and take to schools. He was actually quite sweet.

[Strawberry1139]

awww give him somethin to eattt

[flowerkissesforever]

I hope he had some thing to eat he Probably was hungry!!

[RandomPickle1]

PORCUPINES ARE ACTUALLY ADORABLE

[Lisandro01987]

feed the damn porcupine you damn noobs xD

[ciboka]

lol aww why do they all ways run i just wanna hug :(

[torchlena]

poor baby! people can be co cruel. he's clinging to the human's feet and he wants to get a normal home. I don't think this can be named as "adaptation in wild life".

[RobZombieTheSecond]

@torchlena Yeah, you try keeping a porcupine as a pet.. :L

[CzarThePlezer]

@torchlena No you idiot, he has grown to be dependent on humans for food.

[UndauntedJohn]

I remember seeing stickers for the first time on the slopes, almost crapped myself

[tappakeggaday1]

oh please pick me up m feet are so cold.. and food you have any food? a pack of smokes? five bucks ?will any of you give me five bucks? anything please I have a wife and four pups

[tittles123456]

when i was in telluride he crawled up my leg!!!!!:D

[vf2005]

It looks as if it's been abandoned by it's mother or lost, as it's spines are not developed yet, therefore I presume it's a young one. Nevertheless, according to The Denver Channel . com, Stickers has been re-homed

[cellistry]

This porcupine is famous! He's all over Youtube... makes me want to go to Telluride.

[TheMiracleCrew]

They're not actually very sharp. I pet one once. They're like little dog things. :) 

[MCoftheD]

@TheMiracleCrew lol they are very sharp. If one let you pet it, then it was probably relaxed and had his quills down. If you had been tormenting it I'm sure he woulda made you think the opposite.

[TheMiracleCrew]

@MCoftheD It was a month ago that I said it. Haha. Looking back, I think it was an oversized hedgehog or something, nevertheless, this thing is amazing and I want one.

[MCoftheD]

@TheMiracleCrew lol ya hedgehogs are very similar just more domesticated then porcupines.

[KesoXorganoff]

So vulnerable, and so cute.

[rockiemtnman]

he is attracted by salt-they will chew on tires that have road salt on them

[wart147]

@rockiemtnman wtf r u talking about dumbass no they wont

[UberKrispy]

don't make him mad

[NikkiRose]

Thats a mighty brave one.

[Evan1995]

how do they have sex without touching the needles

[ntheoret]

@Evan1995 Very carefully... LOL ;-)

[Evi1M4chine]

Why are they so creeped out? It’s obvious that it doesn’t mean any harm. It’s a very smart animal that is curious. So go and make first contact! :)

[argentak]

semi-domesticated porcupines are being friendly approachable when they march up to you like that. they only get mad and poke you if you poke or provoke them. usually they fluff themselves, lower on all fours, and circle around when agitated. if you've got layered clothing and gloves on, hug away!

[wart147]

@argentak wtf r utalking about dumbass

[mamacujo]

He doesn't understand why no one will hug him... ;-(

[LDLivingDemon]

good thing he's not a skunk? try stroking it's fur.....

[noodow715]

[alydagreat]

[stompnd]

@alydagreat

[AZJayhawk90]

My 7 year old saw him too while she was in ski school. At first I didn't believe her until all of the reports confirmed it.

[Hatiepat]

[Robox35]

@WildroseSandra ikr, everyone kept backing away from it, he must have felt unloved =[ poor little guy, but i wouldent suggest giving him a hug cuz it might stick u with his quills

[tekeyamin]

[wwwe2587064]

[UnderMySkinner]
