Caption me – Porcupette

maryqos sez: Here’s today’s passenger and what Cher wrote on FB: This beautiful, sweet little girl was discharged from the hospital today, with her continued rehabilitation turned over to us. She sustained small skull fractures after being struck by a vehicle. Initially she displayed balance issues and circling behavior. But that seems to have resolved. What an incredible blessing she wasn’t crushed by the vehicle. At only about 4 months old, and a mere 6 pounds, she was no match for a motor vehicle of any kind.

Porcupettes stay with their moms for the first four months of their lives. It is only when their moms go off to mate in October that they find themselves on their own, especially the little females. The little males will later rejoin their mothers as they typically spend their first winter with their moms.
