News from one recent tour by Valdy
Almost every morning on the walk we see signs of porcupines – either feeding signs like the holes they dig to forage for roots, or the base of tree trunks they have cleared. They also eat bones.
A porcupine’s teeth never stop growing so they do this to stop them from growing too long. We also find the odd quill here and there, but because of their nocturnal behaviour we hardly ever see them. Recently on a night drive we saw a porcupine feeding on some roots on the side of the road – as we approached it dashed into the road rattling its quills and then disappeared – definitely a worthy sight!
