Charismatic Porcupine Feasts Ravenously On A Lil Corn On The Cob (Video)

Porcupines are easily the best example of cruel irony in the natural world. They're outrageously sweet and affectionate, they love hugs and cuddles, yet they're one of the few animals we can't even pet easily.  The porcupine is not an aggressive animal and will only attack if it is threatened. Once threatened, porcupines will chatter their teeth and produce a chemical odor to warn off predators. We truly enjoyed watching Nolina go to town on this tasty snack. She has a big personality and an even bigger appetite, which we totally applaud. A girl's gotta eat. Porcupines are adorable, try to prove us wrong. Go ahead, we'll wait. While you are building your argument, here, enjoy this video of Nolina being her perfectly adorable self. 

"Nolina loves corn on the cob! Like many rodents, African crested porcupines' teeth keep growing throughout their lives. Keepers provide Nolina and her pal Sharpie with many opportunities to wear down their teeth, including this tasty corn." Via Oregon Zoo.
