In this vid, a rescued baby porcupine (called a porcupet!) eats a banana. Cute enough. But its squeaks—which turn out to be hiccups—will slay you. You wanna cuddle with it, but I bet it would hurt. (His mother died after being hit by a car, and after being rehabilitated, Squeakers here—that's what I call him— is now living at a nature center in northern Minnesota.) Thanks, Neatorama!

Cute Alert: Bottle-Fed Orphaned Baby Porcupine

Brace yourselves, people. You get a little jaded by the cute around here, but mandykw has re-booted my cute receptor.

Brace yourselves, people. You get a little jaded by the cute around here, but mandykw has re-booted my cute receptor. This orphaned baby porcupine is not only being bottle-fed, he's making the most ridiculously cute honking sounds while he feeds that I've ever heard. (Read that last sentence again and see how many cute words you can find in it.) Killing. Me. Softly.
