The Case of the Mysterious Dancing Porcupine...


Not too long ago we went to Zollman Zoo in Byron with Linda, Dennis, his wife Dana, and children Benton and Avery. We had no idea such a wonderful park/zoo was only minutes away from Rochester. It was a great day, though a porcupine who was doing strange dancing seemed to bring in some rainclouds just as we were leaving.

...could this be Linda's badger?


Michele, Sammy, Dana, Avery, Benton, Dennis, and Linda look at the prairie dogs...
