Say hello to Sage! This young North American porcupine is a new addition at the Museum. Visitors can spot her with older porcupine Juniper in the habitat located in the Schnitzer Entrance Hall, just inside the Museum doors. Sage is recognizable by her blonde quills— porcupines can come in a variety of colors, called color morphs, much like bears!
