On a drive up the Dalton Highway, just above tree line, near Chandalar Shelf, I came across five very curious and unafraid fox pups who posed for me for nearly five minutes.
At the Coldfoot airstrip, I came across this porcupine which appears to be missing half of his quills on his back, perhaps due to a skirmish with a predator.
That is a cute troop of foxes!
ReplyDeleteCan porcupines shoot their quills? I don't think so but my fiance has a never ending argument that they do.
ReplyDeleteKayla--I'm no porcupine expert, but I really don't think they can missile out their quills.
