North American Porcupine

Keepers spend a lot of time creating new enrichment for this curious rodent to explore. She is most active early in the morning or late afternoon. They are great climbers, so look around the entire habitat, as she may be at the very top of the rock walls!

• Vocalizations include grunts, whines, shrieks, and tooth clicking.
• One dominant male will breed with multiple females, but only if the female wants to.
• Solitary and territorial but might den with other porcupines in the winter season.
