    Hi Jessi! In a previous video kizmit was called a hystrix cristata, but now she is hylo critsia here. What have you observed in Kizmit that made you realize she was a different species? In this case, was it very subtle? Thanks!

    • @animalwondersmontana
      @animalwondersmontana  7 лет назад +103

      Sabrienne Alice Olanio No, no change totally my mistake!! It should be Hystrix cristata. I think a combination of autocorrect and not thinking clearly because of a concussion at the time of recording this episode is the culprit for not catching this blatant mistake. Sorry guys!!

    I live in Nebraska and if I heard you correctly, we have the Old World porcupine from Africa (soft hair in front - business quills in back).
    Odd that the Mid West U.S. didn't get the porcupine from South America. South

  • @cravenlunatic1
    @cravenlunatic1 7 лет назад +24

    I had no idea old world porcupines didn't have barbed quills. The quills do still pull out and get lodged in the skin of other animals, don't they? I've seen pictures of lions with porcupine quills in their face, are those quills just easier to remove?

    • @animalwondersmontana
      @animalwondersmontana  7 лет назад +24

      waitingfor2020 They do still come out sometimes, but it takes a lot more force to go in and only comes out if the quill is lodged deep in the predator and the hold is stronger there than in the porcupine's follicle.

    I love animalWonders. It is a great time we live in, that anyone can observe animals and learn about them and their behaviors on the web. These videos are so well done and informative. It is nice you can see the people involved genuinely care about the well being of these animals and try to keep their lives as natural as possible in captivity. This is why the internet was made. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the animals and to expanding education. It is meaningful to those who would not otherwise have the means or experience.
    A personal favorite of mine is the video about the difference between snakes and legless lizards!

      Pyro7693 It's likely they would. And porcupines don't really do "backing down" very well, so we're not going to risk an introduction since it's not necessary for either. Kemo is solitary and Kizi already has her social needs met with the cavies.
