Beyond their prickly reputation you will find an often overlooked, yet compelling animal, unique to the forests in which it lives. From careful mating to seven-month pregnancy to self-defense of its own quills, the porky is special in many unexpected ways.

From working with a non-releasable porky to teaching birch bark and quill work, Melonie Shipman has found many endearing traits of this little-known treetop dweller. You will, too.
