Fauci would strap it down and blast sand into her eyes, ignoring the high keening scream she would make, until she tied and was tossed in a fire. For research purposes and of course... the children 🥰
Such a poised diner he OR she (and equally good, no gender ambiguity here !) doesn't require linens at the table to impart that message of refinement. Maybe we can attribute that to youth as it's the ornery old ones ya gotta look our for . . . . .
Not trying to be as spoil sport but porcupines are the cause of many animal deaths. Example? On a fishing trip on the way home I saw a baby raccoon on the side of the road wandering aimlessly and we stopped. I got out and noted it had quills all over its face and nose, chin and head area. I hekld it down with a two inch on its back and father pulled almost four dozen quills out of its racial area. We then put it in a minnow trap and that shows how small it was. It was silent all the way home and when we arrived I opened the trap and it ran out. I chased it and it turned to defend itself when all of a sudden it saw my beagle ample over. It whistled and chased my dog all over the place. It thought my dog was its mother. I am sure it had been curious and approached an adult porcupine in the woods and got a tail swat in the face with dozens of quills in its face. From that moment one he allowed me to pick him up and became a pet to adulthood. I was 16 and would sneak him upstairs where he would sleep with me curling himself in the small of my back but growling when I moved around. I would put him on my shoulder and drive my bicycle around with him. He would drape two back legs over my shoulder and two front ones around the other shoulder.
He was an ideal pet but a neighbor killed him one night when he escaped the dog house and got into the neighbors woodshed.
He attracted a lot of attention, especially senior teen girls driving past who would stop and want to pet him. I did not mind that at all. However, porcupines sentence unskilled and young animals to a painful death and this one was abandoned by his mother because he could not nurse with the quills in his lips and in his mouth.
Gotta love this little guy! Yes his eating mannerisms are quite good! Many 2 legged animals could take lessons from him (or her!)
How incredibly sweet - made my day
Thank you so much Celia 🌸
Aww, so sweet!
And God saw that it was Good.
A squirrel sits on a branch outside my breakfast table and daintily eats that way.
Not so much my basset hounds.😁

That is the reality of the wild existence.
The perfect break from doomscrolling. ❤️
