#Porcupine
Hi Jessi! In a previous video kizmit was called a hystrix cristata, but now she is hylo critsia here. What have you observed in Kizmit that made you realize she was a different species? In this case, was it very subtle? Thanks!
Sabrienne Alice Olanio No, no change totally my mistake!! It should be Hystrix cristata. I think a combination of autocorrect and not thinking clearly because of a concussion at the time of recording this episode is the culprit for not catching this blatant mistake. Sorry guys!!
AnimalWonders Montana Thanks for the clarification and I hope you've recovered/are recovering well from your concussion. We wish you all the best!
How did u get concussion???
@@mr.piggly5884 somebody punched her cuz she wouldn't shut up
@@porkyswelding you suck
I would like to thank Square Space for giving us 30 seconds of Kizmit eating.
She's Huge.
I would definitely not say no to short videos just showing the animals' behaviours. While it is really interesting to learn about them, sometimes I just wanna watch an adorable animal play, or just eat.
And 0.5 seconds of Kizmit eating the camera.
@@alexs.5871 check out chunk videos. He's a hedgehog, he has a family now, and wonderful videos of him eating or members of his family eating. Also there's a great one where he burps :)
Things that threaten Kemosabe: Lack of fresh bananas.
Things that threaten Kizmit: Lack of prompt belly rubs.
Truly, both situations that require deadly quill usage.
This was so perfectly done. Everything!
Dr. Doe!!! Hi!
Hi Dr. Doe! Good to see you here!
I've been wondering why Kizi was housed with the cavies rather than her "grouchy uncle." Now I know. Thanks!
Guess your not getting Kemosabe & Kizmit a bouncy house for their next birthday.
Kemosabe reminds me of someone's tiny grumpy grandpa. "Get off my lawn you dang hooligans! [vigorous fist-shaking]"
the vigorous fist shaking description made me chuckle so hard xD
That cavy room is like cute rodent heaven.
@@rinraiden7025 rats are awesome, social intelligent animals
I've gotten too close to a northern Minnesota porcupine - it politely turned around and bristled it's whole back to me, and slowly charged me while chanting some porcupine grunts - it was beautiful kind of like a turkey fanning it's tail ... I'm always happy to have wild porcupines around where I live
thank you for caring for animals so much. I lost my best friend last week, he was a 15.5 year old husky with an amazing personality. Watching your videos seeing happy animals helps me feel better. Thanks again.
This was fascinating. I love comparative evolution studies. 🐺🐕
This is just what I was thinking. Sent it to my biology loving kid who is currently doing units in evolution.
Me too
@@EliseLogan that was really sweet
kizmit got so big already..so cute 🤗
Kizmit is so big now!! Wow!
This pair is just absolutely delightful. what a cute pair of critters!
Kizmit's gotten so big!!!! I can't believe she fit in your hand only a few months ago.
I love your energy and enthusiasm. Your love for all the animals in your care, is obvious. Thanks you for teaching others so much about animals we often don’t get to see ourselves. I will use your videos in our homeschool for my high functioning autistic grandson; my daughter and I always look for interesting nature videos for him. Thank you!
Such a great video! I'm so happy you guys got a sponsor!! Very well done.
I never knew that porcupines could be social! I was actually worried about the guinea pigs and Chilli Pepper before I saw this video because I didn't think she would be able to control her quills. I'm so glad you made this video! Kemosabe is one of my favorite animals at Animal Wonders and you answered a question of mine about Kizmit. Thanks!
I had no idea old world porcupines didn't have barbed quills. The quills do still pull out and get lodged in the skin of other animals, don't they? I've seen pictures of lions with porcupine quills in their face, are those quills just easier to remove?
waitingfor2020 They do still come out sometimes, but it takes a lot more force to go in and only comes out if the quill is lodged deep in the predator and the hold is stronger there than in the porcupine's follicle.
this episode was just great. everyone loves to meet these animals. your fashion was on point (nice belt). and that was the most tolerable ad read i've heard in awhile
So good to see a video of them together :-)
So close to 100k subs! Good work, you guys deserve it.
I was hoping you would make a video about this. Thanks! great info : )
your show is so amazing! thank you so much Jessi. I love your animals and the way you take care of them!
I love porcupines, they are so adorable, this video got me to subscribe, thank you for such lovely videos
You are an amazing human, i love ur enthusiasm and your passion for animals!
what a light in this world!
I live in Nebraska and if I heard you correctly, we have the Old World porcupine from Africa (soft hair in front - business quills in back).
Odd that the Mid West U.S. didn't get the porcupine from South America. South
Love love LOVE this whole channel!
Great episode, Jessi! Very interesting and educational!
I loved this video! Especially because Kemosabe and Kizmit where in It❤️
+
So informative and well presented. Great video.
They're both so precious!
YOU HIT 1K CONGRATULATIONS
Amazing video! So informative! Thank you 😊
BOOM Quality porcupine action
It's so good to see the two of them ^_^
This was a really good video.
Thank you so much for all the information ♥️
You fail to address a huge mystery: how do these animals mate without leaving themselves full of more holes than Bonnie and Clyde?
Lol, that's what I was wondering!
They mate... very carefully lol
So much cute!!! I just love your videos, a real bright spot in my week. :)
The Cavy room looks so cool
This was very interesting! Thank you very much!!
Aww they're so cute ! Love them !!
I didn't even know how badly I wanted this video until I saw it in my subscriptions. Thanks for making it!
Awww they were both so sweet!!! 😍 i loved this one!
kizmit got so big! hahaha
I miss baby Kizmet! good thing we have the other videos!
Viewing this in 2020. What a great information source you are! This was immensly interesting.
Those porcupines are so cute
I wanna pet Kizmit so much!
She's freaking adorable
Very informative and very interesting. Good work.
Hi. Do you still have videos that highlight Kemosabe's marvelous speech? Sure would live to hear him again. Thanks!
Very informative, thank you much. Now I must go find out more about these marvelous critters.
And there’s a third spikey sweetheart... the echidna. Amazing how ‘convergent’ evolution fills similar niches with kinda similarly protected animals.
And hedgehogs 😊
I love animalWonders. It is a great time we live in, that anyone can observe animals and learn about them and their behaviors on the web. These videos are so well done and informative. It is nice you can see the people involved genuinely care about the well being of these animals and try to keep their lives as natural as possible in captivity. This is why the internet was made. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the animals and to expanding education. It is meaningful to those who would not otherwise have the means or experience.
A personal favorite of mine is the video about the difference between snakes and legless lizards!
I don’t know how this channel was recommended but I sure am happy it was. Kizzy and and Kimosabe.... adorable!!!
This was fantastic, thank you so much!
I'm glad that Kizmit is so social, she seems to act like my boston terrier. Does she ever accidentally hurt the cavies?
kemosabe & kizmet: the podcast
please? i love the sounds kemosabe makes.
This was so interesting - thank you
Kemosabe has the record for most views. It's those little tiny hands when he grabs stuff it's too cute💗😄
Is Kemosabe feeling better?
This video was very interesting to watch!
And Kizmit surely is growing bigger, but she doesn't get any less adorable.
I loved your "tie as a belt"!
I had to watch this again to see it. That's still a nice belt.
Came to comments, just to see if anyone else noticed in the past 2 years 👍☺️
For whatever reason, I found it rather endearing 🥰
wow she is so friendly i hope she get her reward for love our nature that much ❤️
Love this channel
Great and informative video, as always.
Question: When a porcupine loses a quill do they grow back?
Oy Kemo ... that is a formidably boopable nose
That's why I call them Boopsnoots.
Aww, look at at Kizmit, all grown up. :')
Im in love with porcupines and her passion for them. I recently had privilege of seeing newborn old world porcupine baby, very cute. Kimo still takes cake tho. This woman is so awesome; she seems so kind
I'm getting Hystrix pumlia next week.
i want to give Kizmit such a cddle, she's gorgeous.
This was so interesting!
You have the best job ever!!!
So cute!!
I do not understand the 5 dislikes. This is amazing, it's like a full trip and adventure, just as you say, everytime you educate us on the awesomeness of animals. This one particularly was sooo cool!
Ooooh these two are my favorite 💝💝💝👍👍👍
I love your Gligar shirt, Jessi C:
Can you mention their stats, please? And do they have different types?
I wonder what would happen if Kemosabe and Kizmit met. Would they just fight each other?
Pyro7693 It's likely they would. And porcupines don't really do "backing down" very well, so we're not going to risk an introduction since it's not necessary for either. Kemo is solitary and Kizi already has her social needs met with the cavies.
I think I remember Kemosabe being down to one tooth, which probably wouldn't chitter very well by itself. You take wonderful care of him, so I don't think it would happen often, but how does he express annoyance if the first part of his routine is limited? Thank you.
*In grade 2 I went to a girls bday party and I was given a quill from Kizmit's species....wish I knew where it went*
Truly appreciate your videos. This is a beautiful experience in being a true 'animal geek' like myself. I adore & support a lot of BATS & really appreciate the rumors you are dispelling about the porcupine. You can imagine how many rumors bats have about them I'm sure. Or, you know because you're spending time with them, *hint* PLEASE If you have any bat videos, share the link. Thanks for your time and passion for animals lives.
Awwwww Kizmit is doing so well and she's such a sweetheart ;_;
Hey, I love your channel especially your birds it inspired me to get a parrotlet of my own his name is elliot I got him a few weeks ago he is just now taking treats that I hold next to him and I am so proud any suggestions to get him to step up now he's not there yet but I hope we can get there soon any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
Very informative video. So do old world porcupine quills not detach & remain in their attacker?
Statistical Sprocket She says only that the quills puncture. She never clearly says the quills break off and remain in the attacker.
When they lose quills do they grow more? Or loss forever?
"Covered in death" lol I love this channel
Has Chili Pepper learned not to groom Kizmit so much that she gets a bald spot?
Tyler Peterson Kizmit never had a bald spot, but when she was real little Chili Pepper did chew on her long quills. Kizi's... a bit bigger now, lol, and CP has learned not to nibble her quills or she'll get upset.
Is chili pepper the girl talking?
Patagonian mara.
I want to make pens out of Kizmit's quills!
Right? What a great idea, I wonder if they can make & then sell them, like keep-sakes? Mementoes?
hiko73 maybe that's something we can ask about.
Omg Kizmit grew up oooh wow and she's beautiful!!!!!
Спасибо за ролики🌞👍
I know a little more about those cute little porcupines that love you so much!
How do you deal with injuries that your animals may have?
Kizzie is getting so big!!!
Hey, AnimalWonders! I was wondering if Kemosabe mimics or are those just the sounds he makes?
i was needing help with my parrot. so the people we got her from abused her. so now she hates hands so i was wondering how do i bond with her. i've been giving her treats through the pen and shes taking the treats but shes scared doing it. can you please help me?
When I was in Penn. (at one of their state parks) there was a huge porcupine sleeping in a tree.
The only time I've Ever seen one. Wow, it was cute. (In the wild, I'm sure they're Much cuter from AFar!)
lol, "they are all covered in DEATH!"
You guys are in Missoula?? How have I not heard about you before tonight? I lived in Missoula my entire life before moving to Japan. Next chance I get back to Missoula to visit friends I am going to look you guys up!
Adorable
one of the guinea pigs, ( I think its pickles. ) really looks like my guinea pig! He's got the ginger circle on his face, and the rest white! P.S. I love your videos, and it makes my friends confused in what a prehensile tailed porcupine is, if they ask my favorite animal. Keep up the Good work!!!
