    Had the chance to get some shots of a porcupine. Not a common site as they don't show themselves very often.

    Fabulous piccy. Look at him holding on tight so he can chew at the bark. A great shot indeed Kildale.

    Amazing photo. You brought a big smile to my face showing that! :D We haven't got porcupines, only hedgehogs.

    What a great shot!! :D Beavers have the same strong orange teeth as porcupines and both species certainly put them to good use gnawing through branches.

    That's a great photo. I had one "shoot" my dog a few years ago when I lived in New Mexico. Poor thing had quills all over her face... luckily it missed her eyes.
