Oklahoma City Zoo (March, 2003)

 
OUCH!  This is a freakin' porcupine!  I had no idea these things could get anywhere near this big.  This thing had to be a foot and a half tall and weigh at least 40 lbs!

Like I mentioned before, the layout let you get really close to these guys...if you wanted you could reach out and touch those quills.  I don't think you were supposed to, and I don't think you want to, but still you could.  They seemed to be paying no mind to the people nearby.
