  • FYI - baby porcupines are born with soft quills - they harden up within an hour or so after birth.

  • @JynuineMothering LMAO...you're right-I never thought of that! I hope they are soft or I feel really sorry for the poor porcupine mothers out there...can you imagine?!!!

  • The mom is huge 0_0

  • enjoy seeing the baby with his mother. enjoy all your videos mel

  • I like the part where the big one sits.

  • Are the baby quills soft when they are born? Otherwise that would make for a REALLY ouchy birth!

  • This is so cute I can't even stand it.

  • @CelloThe15th Nah, she's pretty small. The dad, though, is huge.

  • The porcupine mom is big! :0 She almost looks like a gorilla in a way...

  • AAAAAWWWWWWWWW
