“Hi guys! I'm Stella, and I am an African crested porcupine that lives at Wild Florida! I have been at Wild Florida for four years. One of my good friends is Turk, a Red-Crested Turaco that lives with me. I hope to meet you in person one day, and don’t worry; I don’t poke you with my quills!”
Stella can be found sleeping most of the time as porcupines are nocturnal. Stella is an amazing animal that help our guests overcome the fear and misconceptions associated with porcupines. We are continually surprised by how cuddly and playful she is when interacting with the trainers.
