Montana’s Porcupine Ambassador

Sasha the porcupine is shown at Montana Wild, the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Park's education and conservation center in Helena, Mont. WP is a firm advocate of not interfering with or humanizing wild animals, and they've rehabbed and released other porcupines. But Sasha's story is somewhat unique and she's become an ambassador animal for FWP, along with the raptors and other birds housed at the center. Story of Sasha: Montana's porcupine ambassador here.

Question: Have you or one of your pets ever gotten to close to a porcupine?
