The [Bronx zoo][1] is on diaper duty. The newest edition of the [Wildlife Conservation Society][2] is an adorable porcupette who was born on July 28, 2015. Although the zoo has not released the name of the porcupine, he’s already getting a lot of attention online. He is the third offspring of mom Alice and dad Patrick. The porcupine is known for their spiky quills, which are quite painful when hooked on another animal or a person’s flesh. The baby’s quills are soft, but begin to harden within hours of its birth. The quills will continue to harden as the rodent ages. The baby and his family are in the newly renovated Children’s Zoo exhibit. [1]: http://bronxzoo.com/ [2]: http://www.wcs.org/
