    This adorable baby porcupine, known as a porcupette, is the first of its species to be born at Illinois' Brookfield Zoo. Zookeepers are caring for him by hand because his mother wouldn't allow him to nurse. https://abcn.ws/2ug1ZGl pic.twitter.com/nKUtz53Ite

        Poor little dude. Mama didn’t want to nurse him. If male, why is he called. “Porcupette”? Why not “porcupito”?

        Why wouldn't she let him nurse? Did she smell you on him or was it straight from birth? Is it a common or uncommon thing?

        it is not unheard of in the animal kingdom for a mother to reject a newborn, some just aren't natural mothers and have been known to abandon their offspring, maybe there is a form of postpartum depression in animals and they have no interest

        Little thing is distracted by all the commotion around him. He'll eat more when everything settles down.
