Cool picture, they are good climbers. And they are slow moving guys.
I have released them from cage traps, they just waddle away.
I came face to face (within a foot) with one in a cave once. He just raised his quills and turned his back to me. I moved on, he stayed put.

Man that's neat. I've never seen one in the wild. Would be cool to see (I want to be a lot more than a foot away though)

They are a lot faster than they look.... like when they want to get away quickly they can.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people? ![[Linked Image]](http://neoswarm.com/images/Bug_Crawling.gif)

Wait till they find your tractor and chew all of the wiring and upholstery of it then move over to you ranch truck.
They won’t be nearly as neat. I might let a coyote walk but never a porpupine.
