A baby porcupine, also known as a porcupette, has started to venture outside at Whipsnade Zoo, just in time for Mother’s Day.

Footage from the zoo shows Dakari and mom Kimya exploring their habitat together.

The new arrival, Dakari, was born on February 13, the zoo said.

As porcupine pregnancies only last 94 days, Dakari is Kimya’s second baby in six months following Oti, who was born in August last year.

Keeper Felicity Ball said: “Kimya should be awarded ‘Mother of the Year’. Not only has she been caring for her six-month-old Oti, but she also now has a tiny new baby to care for as well. Thankfully Dad, Winga, has been helping with the young." Credit: Whipsnade Zoo via Storyful
