Porcupine

It was feeding time in the small mammal house when I was visiting a few weeks ago. This porcupine was eager awaiting the visit from his handler. He stood with anticipation on his branch, looking downwards towards the door where his friend would appear to feed him and give him attention.
As the handler entered his small habitat, he leaned down towards her, reaching out his legs as if to tap her on the back. She exited for a moment and he glared at the door, awaiting her return. When she came back, he leaned down even further to capture her attention.
