The temple I go to is lucky as 2 sides border nature, a deep ravine. The temple owns about 3 acres of it. So we get animals. Deer, coyotes, many kinds of birds (crows, ravens, geese, bluebirds, 2 kinds of woodpeckers, and more) weasels, rabbits, moose, and now, just recently, a juvenile porcupine. For the last 10 days or so, he's been coming right up to the concrete pad in front of the temple to munch on the clover. Every night around 9 PM at dusk (porcupines are nocturnal) he has his feast. I've never actually been there, but the priests say he's fairly tame. They (and the one priest's 3 children) get fairly close and watch. He's too busy eating to notice them much. I saw him when he was younger (coulda been a different one). The priest joke he's the most regular devotee, and I figure if he does have a human past, or connection, it is to kavadi, because of the quills.
Just sharing. I'll have to get the priest to email me the picture.
