exciting times in ludell

after it stopped raining we took lisa and lucy to ludell's latest attraction: the headless porcupine

we almost ran over this poor creature last night (dead in the middle of the road) on our way here and today had to walk down to see what one looked like close up in real life. here is my dad, the porcupine expert, giving us informational facts

here are some fun porcupine tidbits:
average lifespan: 5-7 years
in latin means "quill pig"
diet: herbivore, eating a lot of tree bark and berries
they have poor sight and are nocturnal
