Have You Ever Seen a Porcupine Eating Corn on the Cob?

If you’ve never seen a porcupine eating corn on the cob, today’s your lucky day. It is way cuter than you’d think. Mandalay Farms in Jupiter, Florida shares adorable updates about animals like Quilby the porcupine on social media. Quilby in particular is internet famous for his snacking. One recent video shows Quilby munching happily on a piece of corn on the cob.

Mandalay Farms is a private farm and animal sanctuary that cares for animals like horses and miniature donkeys, llamas, goats, emus, turkeys, and pot-bellied pigs. Quilby is the farm’s prehensile-tailed porcupine.

In the wild, Mandalay Farms says these herbivores forage for food among trees. In human care, prehensile-tailed porcupines eat a variety of fruits and vegetables—including yams, bananas, carrots, spinach, and more. Some of Quilby’s favorite snacks include sweet potato slices, herbivore “biscuits,” apples, and, of course, corn.

Here’s Quilby snacking on a sweet potato slice.

And here’s a photo of Quilby eating some corn on the cob:

Is this cute or what?
