Have I introduced you to my charming friend?

Mr Snizzles says that he looks scarier than he actually is.

Would you like a quill? You can use one with a bottle of ink to write fancy letters. Go ahead, take your pick.

    I was very surprised by the porcupine and how soft it looked. We have two at our local zoo that are very spiny looking.

    Wow! He does look like a dangerous fellow. I have never seen one's face up close. Not too shabby for a prickly thing!

    Count me in! I have a fuzzy, oozy creature this week!

    Up close they look like spears!

    The last photo also reminds me of a fish, but I can't think of what it's called.

    I think Mr. Snizzles and I must have something in common, we both only get prickly when we're upset!

    I've never seen one in person.

    So cool! But how do you "pick a quill"? Does Mr. Snizzle share? Or does he shed and then you can pick a quill?

    Adorable little critter and wonderful macro shots. I'd have been a tad nervous up close and personal like that. ;)

    Hi Lisa, I left a prickly rose close up. Loved your porky pine, they are a terrible creature...but better than a skunk! :)

    The only way your friend would loan me a quill is if it was embedded in my forearm. :p

    Great photos. We didn't get that close to the one we had hanging around here last winter, and we don't have a great camera, just a point and shoot to try and get the photos.
