Porcupine

A few weeks ago, I was walking in the woods with Zula.  She found a porcupine under a tree!  It was curled up into a ball about the size of a soccer ball.  It bristled with brown and white speckled quills.   Zula barked at it and bounded around it, but luckily was wary enough not to try to bite it.  It was the first porcupine I have ever seen in the woods.
