porcupine

Blandford Nature Center has a new resident. He is a baby North American porcupine named Quillber. He is the nature center's newest Wildlife Ambassador. You can visit the little guy from the Wildlife Trail during your next visit.

After seeing a porcupine get hit by the car in front of him, Jared Buzzell, of Lisbon, Maine, pulled over to check on it. He discovered that it was dead, but was then reminded of something his uncle told him about some mineral inside a porcupine's stomach that was really valuable. That sounds strange enough already, but it gets weirder.
