We’re pleased to share a successful introduction here at BCA Zoo!
Our resident porcupine, Denzil, has recently been introduced to Quilliam, a young male who has joined us from ZSL Whipsnade Zoo. Introductions were carried out gradually, with careful monitoring by the team to ensure both animals remained calm and comfortable.
We’re happy to report that the pair have settled well together and are fast becoming the best of friends.
As both Denzil and Quilliam are males, sadly there won’t be any pitter patter of porcupettes, but this introduction is an important step in providing social enrichment and encouraging natural behaviours.
Keep an eye out for the pair on your next visit!
