Rico the porcupine taking care of an itch. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

This #WorldPorcupineDay we're celebrating with our Cape porcupine, Mrs. Mo! Porcupines are herbivores that primarily eat plant products like fruits, roots, and bark. As a special treat, Mrs. Mo's animal care team provided our porcupine with a pear and some peanut butter! You can see Mrs. Mo munching and crunching or catching some z's on your next visit to Desert's Edge! #CapePorcupine #Porcupines #Quills #FeedingTime #Eating #Herbivore | Brookfield Zoo Chicago
