Holy crap that baby's cute. I must arrange a visit soon.

Infants have a dense coat of reddish hair and sharp natal quills about 15 millimeters long.

Yeesh! In Utero quills? Bet that species doesn't have too many breech presentations.

As I understand it, the quills are soft in utero. They harden up once they hit the air after the baby is born. At least that's how it works in "regular" porcupines. One hopes so anyway.
