“Great progress for bébé.” - Moira Rose ⁣ ⁣ Did you know baby porcupines are called porcupettes? When they are born they have soft quills, but with exposure to air, they grow stronger every day. Baby porcupines have the look of older porcupines. They have a rounded, large body and are slow animals. Their small head and ears, short legs and stubby tail are characteristic for these babies. Their front feet have four toes and their back feet have five. All toes have a strong, curved claw. ⁣ ⁣ Image: Baby porcupine munching on vegetation. ⁣ ⁣ #findyourpark #nationalparkweek #porcupine #alaska #glacierbaynationalpark
