"Not a house porcupine" ❤ sadly I grew up thinking none of them were 😂. I did sneak them peanuts, though. This is so much fun, I miss porcupines now that I moved out west.
Thank you for introducing Wally. It looks as though he has a sister who likes experimenting with bleached streaks when practising hairdressing, but he has such a sweet shy face. I can't imagine there's any other channel where someone would casually explain their hesitant visitor by saying "He's not a house porcupine", but thank goodness you provide us with films like these.
Wally has a new porcupine hair style. He has head quills. Protective and stylish. Wally is a sweetie. ♥ (Too many stuffed porcupines coming your way. One too small, one too big. You probably already have 20 on the way from all your followers! 📫)♥
It's alright here right now. Quite a bit above freezing. We had a bit of snow previously and most of it melted today. I think it'll be above zero tomorrow too, but then it'll get cold. That really cold weather is tracking East. So we'll get it, just delayed.
@@joels7605 well, your house must smell and feel like home to these porcupines; we know they don't see all that well, but they can tell where they're safe and sound. plus free eats.
I don't know if any of you have touched a quill before, but I gathered up five of them when I stopped at a roadkill once. The tips are sharper and finer than any needle. The slightest touch and they poke into your skin like it's butter. They might have microscopic barbs. The texture feels like cat claws. They can't shoot them at you as some people think, but the quills will dislodge at the slightest touch with your hand or a curious dogs face 😮
Funky hair styles. Making it easy to tell the porcupines apart at a glance. 👍😆 The 80s called, Wally. They want their hair style back. 😂 (They had to call, cuz they didn't have text).
Long time no see, Wally 🫶🏻 I was just about to comment on how Wally’s quills & spines above the eyes make him (or her?!) look like a snail with those tentacles or an ankylosaurus with the spiky quill-do…a Wallysaurus!! 😅 Is Wallysaurus cold & he’s decided to brave it & come into the house to see what this “heating” thing is that Squeak has been raving about?! 😅 We should start to warm up from this Polar Vortex we have been in for like 48 hours 😂 Yesterday evening, it was -17°C with a windchill of -27°C (1.4°F, wc -16.6°F), but it has warmed up to a _balmy_ -14°C with a windchill of -21°C (6.8°F wc -5.8°F) 😒 Should reach you guys in about 12-36 hours?! (It’s snowing in Philly on TV right now)
It was like +7C today. I think. It'll be +1 tomorrow, then think tomorrow night it's going to drop below freezing. -12C, which is quite cold. Hopefully Wallysaurus and the gang are okay. The house will be here if they want to warm up (they never want that).
I have never seen this wc temp before, I’m going to have to google to see what it is about but I just have to say ANOTHER TEMPERATURE MEASURING SYSTEM????!!!! Can we combine them all and just have 1 already? So silly that we don’t just use the same one globally (imo opinion at least, there may be some reason but I don’t care lol) Wally is very cute!
I'm curious - has any other porcupine made the same noises Chonkers made to you when he was at the hospital? He really seemed to be trying to communicate with you "take me home!", so sweet to be trusted by wildlife 💕
If you can't have a house hippo, at least you should have a house porcupine. You mentioned Mr Chonkers smelling bad too. Is it only the males that have a smell?
I'm not an expert, but the males seem to have a wide broad tail that's almost the width of their whole body at the base. Females seem to have a much more slender tail. The males seem to have broader faces. And they smell a lot worse.
@@cindyrissal3628 North American Porcupines exhibit _slight_ sexual dimorphism, so on average, the males are slightly bigger, but it’s very subtle. There are exceptions of course, like Chestnut is a fairly large female. But really, the only definitive way to tell by appearance is during mating season…the males will 🚽 all over the females they are looking to mate with, they may have to fight with other males for mating rights, after that they do their little dance & then proceed.
They're all wild and none live in the house. There are 13 or 14 porcupines that come to visit, and really there are only four of them that are allowed in the house. Wally isn't normally allowed in the house, but we gave it a try and he seemed fine.
We haven't see Pokey is a long time. I'm worried about him, but I think he's probably fine. He's one of the porcupines that didn't visit very much, and visited less and less as he grew up. He probably just waddled off somewhere. Hopefully we'll see him again someday.
Wally is cute!!! ❤ Are you making fun of his oddly placed quills? 😋 I'm wondering if you pet him on his nose like the others, or if those special quills concern you? Hopefully he outgrows those quills and gets new quills away from his forehead... God's Blessings to you and Forest Friend & your cute extended porcupine family and all of your subscribers and viewers! 🌝 Chrissy
Is there any way the Hooman could stop with the derogatory description of Poor Wally ("you don't smell nice"), when in fact, female porcupines are turned on by Eau du Wally!?!! 🤐
Reminds me of young men in canada and the U.S. who bathe in cologne or body spray (or so it seems) so they "smell good" for the ladies. 😂🤣 Less is more!
I love how he seems to pause and listen every time you speak ❤
Wally’s just showing off this seasons’s newest hair style. I’m going to ask my stylist to give me the “Wally cut,” too.
😎😂
Bring spiked hair and frosted tips back.
@@joels7605 it ain’t “The Wally Cut” without the frosted tips!
@@joels7605 Uhhh I don't know if I am *out-of-oxygen laughing* at orig. comment OR that *Joel* actually KNOWS what *FROSTED TIPS freakin ARE* !! 🤣😂
Wally is such an adorable porcupine i just love how you provide them with food and care you are a good procupine father/owner
Wally is adorable even if he doesn’t smell too good ❤❤❤❤
Punk isn't dead!
Hi Wally! 👋 You are so handsome! 🤩💜💜💜 Love your spikies 💕
He looks like the Pawnee Indian chief, Sharitahrish!!!😊

Úristen, de cuki! Olyan, mint egy nagyra nőtt tengerimalac.🥰❤️
Awww. Hi Wally. Your adorable. 💋❤
The big, long eyes he has remind me of Pokey's. I bet he's hers.
Might be!
He says “Don’t get too close, I’m a little nervous” 😅 he loves his peanuts! Probably cold outside so he made the sacrifice to come in 😅
Wally is too cute, with all that defensive gear on his head. Adorable.
What a sweet little guy. ❤😊

Wally is a handsome boy,love his head quills,you guys are so good to each and every one !❤❤❤❤❤
Wally is the porcupine family SWAT team.
Gorgeous Wally!!!❤
Wally is thinking "where am i" "where's Wally"😂. I know, it's been a long day🤦♀️❤
Such a unique handsome guy. Looking good Wally.👍
*"He's not a house porcupine..."* is a phrase I never thought was necessary. 🤣
Wally is a beautiful boy! I love you Wally.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wally is like, I'm trying to eat here.
Wally has quite the crown of quills ! He shall be King Wally !
Those quills are his 👑....purr to you sweet Wally >^^< Oregon loves you!
Such a pretty boy. 🥰
Aww 🥰 Wally is beautiful porcupines are awesome
@@CarlCoppinger I totally agree!
I like his "porky-do". He's a charming individualist concerning his coiffure.
Happy Sunday from east TN!😊
Which one of the porcupines was the first to come into your house?
I think that was Quilbert.
Spiky boi 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
interesting that he seems to chew when you're speaking and goes quiet when you do. as if he's shadowing what you are saying, so cute!
@@dhutch13 They all do that! It's the weirdest thing.
A lot of critters seem to think about what's been said to them.

Squeak does not understand the concept of too many.

❤❤❤❤❤❤
must be cold out there...

Oh yes, they're pretty sharp. I've had a few (from Squeak) but mostly we just collect them. I do believe they have microscopic barbs.
Funky hair styles. Making it easy to tell the porcupines apart at a glance. 👍😆

Hi Wally, nice to see you..

Is Wallysaurus cold & he’s decided to brave it & come into the house to see what this “heating” thing is that Squeak has been raving about?! 😅

@@lemondropkid6175 I've never heard that noise before or since. He's back to his old self. Poor Chonkers.
so cute like he knows you talking about him, ty
This weather will make any critter a house dweller.
0:49 The contemplative pauses between three munches… and only three. Four shalt he not munch, and five is right out.
Three sir! Three!
If you can't have a house hippo, at least you should have a house porcupine. You mentioned Mr Chonkers smelling bad too. Is it only the males that have a smell?
@@1020-k8z They all smell a little bit. The males seem to smell a lot more.
❤
How can you tell which Porcupine is which?they all look very healthy and quite large apart from Squeak are they all the same family?.❤
Wally has (mostly) short quills and one white whisker. He's mostly dark and has huge forehead quills. He has a broad tail and smells bad.
@@joels7605 I wondered if porcupines were musky. I guess now I know!
@@laveraparato258I've heard it's more like Bad BO or stinky cheese.
He'd probably object to getting spritzed with Pooph spray.
@@Pyxis10 Yikes!
But still better than cologne or body spray applied by the gallon by young men wanting to "smell good" for the ladies. 😂🤣
Are those his quills are was he quilled ?
They're his. He just has big head quills.
@ thank you. You always take the time to answer.
♥♥♥
How do you tell boy vs. girl??😅
I'm not an expert, but the males seem to have a wide broad tail that's almost the width of their whole body at the base. Females seem to have a much more slender tail. The males seem to have broader faces. And they smell a lot worse.
@@joels7605 yeah, the smell...
lol

Wally is adorable. Was wonderin how many porcupines come to visit u? and do any of them live in ur house? I'm watchin u from Connecticut(USA).
They're all wild and none live in the house. There are 13 or 14 porcupines that come to visit, and really there are only four of them that are allowed in the house. Wally isn't normally allowed in the house, but we gave it a try and he seemed fine.
Hi Wally! Is Pokey ever coming by nowadays?
We haven't see Pokey is a long time. I'm worried about him, but I think he's probably fine. He's one of the porcupines that didn't visit very much, and visited less and less as he grew up. He probably just waddled off somewhere. Hopefully we'll see him again someday.
Whos looking funny with them quills up your nose:)

I've booped him on his nose before. He's cool with it.
I'm happy to know that! They know you ♥️♥️♥️ them! And that's why you're allowed to boop them! 🌝
