My mouth literally dropped during the first scene 😱 she's so big now!!! And I agree with others here that it would be nice to have updates on her growth! She was so lucky to have found you!
Oh goodness, she is so adorable. I thought she was cute when you first got her & she was so tiny but she is even cuter now. I love the 2 paws holding the food while she eats. I am so surprised that none of her "roommates" have been stuck with a quill. And I think it's great the Chilipepper trims the quills & maybe makes her a little less prickly. Great work with her training & socialization.
I'm so happy all your bucktoothed buddies are getting along. It must be really comforting knowing they've got that non-human social life. I'm trying to get my parents to get another animal after they lost their cat because I am pretty sure their dog staying at home during the day is really lonely.
I'd love a video of the entire rodent squad hanging out together, just watching them all hang out together in their "natural" habitat, even if it was just like an hour of unedited video, just watching the animals do what they do
They all grow up so fast. ~sigh~ She's so cute, and I love the way she holds her food as well. Those cute little paws! I always look forward to your videos. Studying cats of all sizes (and the occasional coyote project) is the path I chose, and it makes me happy, but I do really love watching your animals, how they interact with you, and actually learning a great deal as well. It's been a long time since I finished grad school.
I love your vids! Thank you so much for informing and entertaining many. It inspires me how you provide care for so many creatures in need. I hope you continue to do what you do
It's fantastic to see her grow up so fast! Thank you for keeping us updated on her, it's super interesting to learn to so much about such an uncommon animal. Can you do a video on the differences between Kizmit and Kemosabe? Maybe something like a What Where How?
Jessi answered this question earlier on! She said: "Not really. They pay attention when Kizmit rattles her tail and they move away before she feels the need to be more pushy. She keeps her quills laid back when she's just hanging out so they they don't hurt them when they snuggle up together."
Looking at her here is so odd: I know the size of an adult crested porcupine so she looks tiny, but at the same time she's grown so big since her first video so she looks huge! xD Baby porcupine in a quantum state of bigness.
Confuseddalek Not really. They pay attention when Kizmit rattles her tail and they move away before she feels the need to be more pushy. She keeps her quills laid back when she's just hanging out so they they don't hurt them when they snuggle up together.
I did not realize that she would grow to be as big as you tell us in this video. Because of your capabilities and mission their must be an adult size limit to the kind of animals you can harbor. I do realize that size it not everything, each animal is an individual and might behave differently in captivity than most of its specie. Did you ever got surprised as to how well or badly an animal adapted to live in your care?
Are Kizmit's quills sharp to the touch or does damage only happen if they're pressed into skin? Would it hurt if she accidentally backed up into you or one of her cavy friends?
You'd have to actually put your finger to the tip of a quill and apply pressure for it to hurt you, or accidently hold her funny while carrying her. It's pretty hard to accidentally get hurt when just chilling with a porcupine, and she'd probably have to charge you/the other animals to hurt them, which she'd warn you about well in advance as she got grumpier and grumpier. Their quills are sharp, but not razor sharp. A bit of pressure has to be applied directly to cause any injury. Just like how you can touch the tip of a knife normally and not get hurt. It's only when you press down that things get painful!
Will you please do a video on how to select a pet bird/what pet bird you should get (like just talk about different birds and certain things about them). Thanks!
You might what to check out the What, where, how videos!! There are a couple of birds featured in that series and how they are as pets. I think she's done cockatiels and budgies? And some of the Meet and Greets and the Bird playlist should help you!!
you know, I always assumed porcupines were small. the first time I saw one in the wild, I freaked out. I was driving in the upper parts of Wisconsin, when one walked in the middle of the road. I had no idea what it was. IT WAS MASSIVE! I slammed on the brakes and waited for it to cross. IT WAS AMAZING! after I got close enough to see what it actually was. Zoos do not do animals justice. I had no idea.
AnarchyJesus Kemosabe is a species of porcupine that's solitary, so he's not really into socializing. That's why we put Kizmit with our other mammals that are super social, just like her :)

I can't believe how big she's gotten! Way to go, Kizmit!
That's amazing that she has grown so fast! Still cute!
I'd love to see "the grooming process" between Kizmit and Chilli Pepper!
Porcupines are freakin adorable
I'm so happy all your bucktoothed buddies are getting along. It must be really comforting knowing they've got that non-human social life. I'm trying to get my parents to get another animal after they lost their cat because I am pretty sure their dog staying at home during the day is really lonely.
Oh my heart! If I had your job Jessi (even with all the paperwork n stress side of things), I'd want to live forever!
Chilipepper is that hairstylist who cuts off several inches when you ask for a trim.
She's such a pretty girl! It's awesome seeing her grow up, and I'm excited to see her fully grown
Seolhe yeah, i remember when jessi was small. time flies so fast.
I'd love a video of the entire rodent squad hanging out together, just watching them all hang out together in their "natural" habitat, even if it was just like an hour of unedited video, just watching the animals do what they do
Kizmit is growing so fast! It's awesome to see how well she's doing.
Wow she really is growing quick!
You're so lucky! African crested porcupines are my favorite animal of all time! She's gorgeous ❤️
Oh my! Kizmit has grown SO much since we last saw!
Kizmit is my favorite. She is so cute and seems very intelligent.
She is in the 1st stage Pokemon phase, she's basically Quilava now.
She's so cute. It seems like just yesterday when she was a tiny ball of spikes :-)

She is so cute -- A well behaved girl!!
I do hope she gets her noise module installed soon. Have her consult with Kemosabe when he's available.
Wow, she looks almost double the size in her last appearance. Thanks for the update!
I love your vids! Thank you so much for informing and entertaining many. It inspires me how you provide care for so many creatures in need. I hope you continue to do what you do
I love your confidence with all the diffrent animals ✨✨✨💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 YOU ROCK
I love how she drops her food at the end haha
Just discovered your channel!! How great!!! Can't wait to show my niece, she asks for cat videos usually but loves all animals!!
It's fantastic to see her grow up so fast! Thank you for keeping us updated on her, it's super interesting to learn to so much about such an uncommon animal. Can you do a video on the differences between Kizmit and Kemosabe? Maybe something like a What Where How?
Aweeeeeee I love watching you with the animals just spending time together! Xo💗
Thank you
she's gotten so big!
Are ChiliPepper and the Guinea pigs in any danger around Kizmit? I'd hate for them to get pricked on accident or otherwise.
Jessi answered this question earlier on! She said: "Not really. They pay attention when Kizmit rattles her tail and they move away before she feels the need to be more pushy. She keeps her quills laid back when she's just hanging out so they they don't hurt them when they snuggle up together."
Ahh thanks so much for telling me!!! I can't believe I didn't see that my question had already been answered!
Notice Me Genki Also, porcupines can contrrol which direction their quills go, since they have mussels at the base of each quill
So cute!!!😊

I just found out about animal wonders as I was looking for porcupines as a pet. It's gonna be so much fun watching her grow that big :D
love your videos, really like the proper names that float on screen.
Thanks animalwonders. Though i must admit, as much as i love seeing the animals, i also don't mind seeing how jesse(the human) evolves as time passes
She is beautiful!
She's so cute!!
She's growing so faaast!
I love her little mohawk!
Of all the gun and car channels I sunscribe too, this ranks in my top 3, Jessi is the Jack Hannah of the west.
love your videos and seeing the animals kizmit is so cute
Love from Romania!
So cute
Do the guinea pigs or cavi ever get poked by Kismet with a quill?
Confuseddalek Not really. They pay attention when Kizmit rattles her tail and they move away before she feels the need to be more pushy. She keeps her quills laid back when she's just hanging out so they they don't hurt them when they snuggle up together.
It would be awesome to see a video of Chili pepper & Kizmit grooming each other and hanging out.

she totally missed a piece of food next to Jessi's foot, right before the end of the video 😂😝

She has such cute little paws! I wish you could teach rodents to shake hands or do high fives like you can with dogs.
She's soooooo beautiful 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's so awesome :)
Kizzies so cute
Yay Kizzy!
OMG SHES SO MUCH BIGGER!
I think she realized you weren’t a threat since the days you bottle fed her in a blanket. lol
When will she reach her full size?
Is it just me or is this video in the "Foxes!" playlist?
AHHH kizmett
Wow! What does it feel like to touch those thick quills?
Hey Jesse! Could you do a video about raptor care and rehab? I would love to see you feature Hera!
Are the hairs on her head/crest sharp at all? They're differently colored from the quills, but also look stiffer than normal hair
"A group of social rodents..." so my dorm building lol.
Do you ever need to cut or trim her quills should they get too long? Or are they like a dog's nails and you can't really cut them due to blood/nerves?
Does the harness bother her with her quills? Or is that area furred?
If animal wonders ever gets like really full will you guys find animals new homes?
Cute critter
I also get irritated and make rattling noises and growls when people come near my food. This is normal, right?
How is Kizmit this year 2019?
i love to watch animals eating
I'm surprised that there haven't been any mishaps involving the quills.
I like it
Jesse I just got a Scarlet Macaw and I have a dog is it ok if I put them together.
hi I like your vids
how sharp are her quills?
How do they groom each other?
Will she still be able to live with the other rodents when she grows to full size?
nyororos I hope so!
Can i train my dog without the clicker bu useing my mouth
How do you bath her lol
why cant she hang out with kimosabe
AnarchyJesus Kemosabe is a species of porcupine that's solitary, so he's not really into socializing. That's why we put Kizmit with our other mammals that are super social, just like her :)
damn i was hoping they talk to each other with those noises. love the show keep up the good work!
CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to our school to do a presentation?
I wonder if kizmit and kimosabe get a long together.
I did not know they grew that big (Ahhhhhhh) I wouldn’t want some that big (even know she is cute)
I know your talking about Kizmit but kemosabes
