Here you can see our North American porcupine pair, Patrick and Alice, interacting with their food enrichment inside egg cartons. Offering their diet in a variety of ways gives our animals the opportunity to engage in natural behaviors like foraging. Daily enrichment provides them with stimulation and offers choice and control over their environment. | Bronx Zoo

Our prehensile-tailed porcupine, who is being hand-reared by animal care staff, runs a couple of laps up and down the hallway in the Animal Wellness Campus. The baby is thriving and as you can see, its quills are coming in as well. While these porcupines are generally arboreal, they will travel on the ground to get from tree to tree as necessary because they can't jump. | The Virginia Zoo | Facebook
