Porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum)
Ft. Drum - 26 May 2008
These are photos of 2 individuals (of 5+ seen by the group) seen at Ft. Drum on memorial day weekend. Of the 7 or so known subspecies
of North American Porcupine, I believe the only subspecies of porcupine in the north east is the nominate subspecies (E. d. dorsatum).
