Default Those aren't Reindeer (Merry Christmas)



These two showed up just a short while ago, a nice Christmas present.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope everyone has a fun day today.

That is most certainly a Porcupine. They are very friendly and enjoy being petted. Give it a try!

Exactly, Its the tail you have to worry about. You never confront one from behind. The tail is like a whip, other than that their demeanor is that of an over sized hedgehog.

There is a weird one that only eats the skins. To each their own I suppose. The rest usually just eat the fleshy part.
