Zoo Baby Alert!
Meet the newest addition to our Porcupine family: Pistachio!
Pistachio was born on March 31, to proud parents BIC and Cece. Prior to their arrival, our dedicated animal care team conducted the very first ultrasound on a Cape Porcupine in our care. You can catch a glimpse of Pistachio in the Children's Forest, where they spend their days closely following their mother as they begin their journey into porcupine life!
Do you think Pistachio is a boy or a girl? Leave your guess in the comments below!
