    More than 100,000 attend anti-Trump protest in Washington, DC
    A skeleton offers to donate a spine to Congress at the Washington Monument during a protest against the Trump administration’s massive employment and funding cuts, and authoritarian seizure of power in Washington, U.S., on April 5, 2025. Most of the closures and cuts have been executed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and numerous lawsuits have been filed to contest the constitutionality of DOGE and specific actions it has taken.

    The Chicago Zoological Society, which manages Brookfield Zoo, welcomed a new addition—a porcupette (baby porcupine) on March 19. The newborn is being hand-reared by animal care staff after it was observed the porcupette’s mom, 9-year-old Lucia, was not providing her offspring proper maternal care.

    The unsexed baby porcupine is thriving and being cared for around the clock by the animal care specialists. Currently, the porcupette is fed a formula, which was developed by CZS’s director of nutrition. As the baby develops, times between each feeding will increase until it is weaned at around 10 weeks old. Once weaned, staff will begin introducing the young porcupine to a diet consisting of a variety of vegetables, including sweet potato, green beans, corn, carrots, spinach, and kale, as well as a nutrient-based biscuit, peanuts, and sunflower seeds.

    At birth, a porcupette weighs just under a pound and is born with soft and bendable quills that protect the mom during the birthing process. After a few days, the quills harden with keratin—the same substance found in hair and fingernails—giving them their sharpness. Prehensile-tailed porcupines are born with a rusty-colored coat that helps them blend in with their environment. Similar to a deer fawn, a porcupette hides and waits for its mother to come to it for nursing.

    Prehensile-tailed porcupines are found throughout much of South America, including in Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia, French Guiana, Trinidad, and northern Argentina, and live in high-elevation rain forests. Thought to be similar to North American porcupines, prehensile-tailed porcupines tend to have individual territories—females have exclusive ones, but males often have territories that overlap and may vary widely in size.

    Their long tail is used to wrap around branches while climbing. Regardless of what some might think, porcupines do not shoot their quills, which are just modified hairs. P

    Betty the Bald Hedgehog at Foxy Lodge Rescue Centre in Hemsby, Norfolk, Britain - 30 May 2011
    A rescued baby hedgehog will never be able to attract a mate because of a mystery skin condition which has left her completely bald and without spines.
    Betty was abandoned by her family before she was found by a member of the public and handed in to staff at an animal rescue centre.
    Animal experts are baffled by her mystery skin condition, which has caused the lonely hedgehog's skin to become dry and left her without any spines.
