Peeking Porcupine Greatest experience of my life! This fellow allowed me to be 2 feet in front of him to get some amazing shots, and didn't seem bothered at all. Of course, careful to keep my distance the pictures turned out really cool.

The North American porcupine, also known as the Canadian porcupine or common porcupine, is a large rodent in the New World porcupine family. The beaver is the only larger rodent in North America. They range from Labrador to Alaska, as far north as the Arctic Sea and south to the northern edge of Mexico.
