8/19/2005: Baby porcupines [updated: hedgehogs]
 Happy Friday - this shot of baby porcupines comes with no further information, but it's similar to the shot of baby pandas from a few weeks ago and I just couldn't resist it. For the sake of the mom, it amazes me that they come out this way

OUCH!!! Now that would make a kidney stone feel like a pleasent experience.
 However I think I remember reading somewhere that their spines are soft when they are born, and then within a few hours they harden and then become nasty. All the spins really are is a modified form of hair. Amazing the adaptations nature comes up with.

A part of me is laughing at myself for thinking they are cute. But, I can't resist miniature stuff!

They are so ugly that they're cute! Of course, this just makes me think of the IotD doggie who got spiked. I wonder how he's doing...

I don't know why, but those lil guys remind me of jalapeno poppers. They may be small, but they can still mess you up.

the camera angle makes it look like that person has a ridiculously large and strong thumb at the base. Hm...
What do you call that part of your hand? |

They may be cute, but they remind me of these guys.
