Porcupine is resting on the wheel hub of the tractor. Caretakers found multiple quills on the back porch indicating that the Porcupine had gotten into a struggle with some other animal. After losing quills, the Porcupine needs to rest to recover and grow them back. It was a quiet resting place until it was found and photographed. It moved away after this photo was taken.
