We saw Porcupine hedgehog in the zoo, but have you ever see Porcupine hedgehog’s baby before? Here you are.
Aren’t they cute? Looks like small durian. :P
[ Thanks, Mel ]
April 1st, 2011 is over. Did you have fun? Here are some tech April Fool’s pranks that’s good to be real.
Ted is 7-yr old n he’s very bad at essay writing. One day his teacher asked the class to write a 500-word essay base on any title they like. Ted thought real hard n finally he started his essay…
What a surprised! You unbox your newly bought Apple iPhone 3G, switch it on but discover that the iPhone wallpaper has a girl smiling to you! Not bikini girl though, but she is cute!
Instead of boring server error, I like creative error page when a website goes wrong. It seems like a trend for Web 2.0 websites. Today, I stumbled upon the Twitter error page. It is so cute!
The “Get direction” feature of Google Maps is very useful to learn how to go from a place to another. However, you are advised not to follow the Google Maps direction blindly, especially from Altanta to Paris. ;)
I bought the Hello Kitty MP3 player at $60 USD (~RM210) on eBay. The whole MP3 player is a Hello Kitty, the control buttons are her hands and feet. No display, only a LED light to show the status. It has a build-in mic for voice recording. Earphone and USB cable share a jack below the left ear.
Never seen a procupine in a Zoo, but photographed this one in my garden last night
I think the babies were probably easier to photograph ;-)
Porcupine babies? Maybe. But, I’d swear I saw one or two of ’em at a family reunion.
wowh, they are super cute!
wow..they are cuter than I tought. I saw once while camping…it is pretty cute too…the way it walk is like unstable…but I am not going near one of this thing when it grow up.
So cute!
Awesome! Don’t the quills shoot out? Or maybe they’re just not developed yet?
I didn’t realize they were born with the spines… so… how does that affect the mother?
Wow. Those must have hurt coming out.
Strangely, they are way cuter than the picture of the baby panda CNN had a picture of the other day.
I think those are hedghog babies and not porcupine babies.

Peace,
are those porcupines or hedgehogs?
Those aren’t porcupines – they’re HEDGEHOGS ;)
I’m willing to be that these cuties are actually family Erinaceidae (probably specifically Atelerix frontalis (southern African hedgehog) or Echinops telfairi (lesser hedgehog tenrec)) rather than family Erethizontidae (the New World porcupines).
Yes, they are hedgehogs. Sorry for the mistake.
hehe…biongbiong still also writes porcupine
arr…wth I wrote….i mean boing boing also uses porcupine to describe it.
I think blog will have very high influence power later in the future…even if you wrote it wrongly, people may just believe it…:)
I once played in a band called Tres Buddas. This would have made a cool cover for the CD.
It is my fault. I did not check carefully and follow the forwarded email subject. :)
I read somewhere that the spikes on baby hedgehogs are actually quite soft. Thus it won’t hurt the mother during birth
Super cute! Hey, say that they look like durina wasn’t nice. :D
I added your pic to the wikipedia page on hedgehogs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog#List_of_species
hope thats ok
Those don’t look very fast…..
Those are not porcupines, they are baby hedgehogs.
I love hedgehogs- this is a brilliant photo
hyper cute!
I wonder if they are soft
Adorable! :)
Those aren’t porcupines, they are hedgehogs.
well cute regardless although if those are hedgehogs then I REALLY REALLY want to now see what baby porcupines look like
They are tooo cute!!
Don’t get any ideas from this photo.
Cute yes, good pets – NO!
These animals are not friendly to humans and are nocturnal.
this is AMAZING!! whish I could I have one for keeps!
It’s 4.30 AM here in Turkey and a grown up version of these cute critters is descimating my garden! Wot wiv the porcupine and the wild pigs I’m lucky to have an garden left at all!
I thought hedgehogs were supposed to be pointy. Maybe with them being so light, they don’t hurt much. What did the mommy hedgehog think?
congrats on the boingboing traffic
I ended up drawing a hedgehog for illustration friday
http://alisonashwell.blogspot.com/2005/08/illustration-friday-dreams.html
– probably seeing the photo earlier in the week triggered the idea.
Those are Hedgehogs, NOT porcupines.
nice side but hard to find:(
these would look very cute . . . in my belly
hedgehog have ability to roll into a tight ball., these tiny hedgehog are very cute but they need to learn how to roll from their mom first………
sonic the hedgehog you know..
Ok…those are baby hedgehogs as I breed them. You can see pics of them from their first day of birth at photoshop.com user: TenshisQuills.
Those hedgies look to be about 2 weeks old. Very cute stage.
They also DO make good pets. NO they can’t shoot quills (neither can porcupines but that’s another story). And finally they are very cute.
I can’t find ANYTHING cuter than those baby hedgehogs!
they are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…cute.
Porcupines are the ones who are born with quills – they’re very soft at birth and begin to harden immediately afterward, on contact with air. Hedgehogs, like these, are actually born without quills exposed – just little bumps that look like pimples where the quills start erupting from the skin within hours after they are born.
They look more like chestnut burrs than durian fruit. ;-)http://www.answers.com/topic/chestnut?method=22
these are hoglets (baby hedgehogs). they are born with the quills but since its wet, they are soft. when it dries, they will harden but the texture is like a brush. and it wont shoot out.
how i know? i’m a hog breeder.
those are cute..but the middle looks geli
That was so cute. But I really cant make out if what I am seeing is the underside or something else of the animal..
