Disney's Animal Kingdom Welcomes Baby Porcupine

The newest addition to Disney's Animal Kingdom, a baby prehensile-tailed porcupine.

The baby, known as a porcupette, was born to mom, Peri, on Feb. 25.

Porcupettes are covered in a fine red fur coat, but they're also born with their tiny quills underneath, which begin to harden hours after birth. Those quills are actually what helped the team determine the baby's gender. And guess what? It's a girl
