Racine Zoo welcomes 2 Cape porcupines to new exhibit

Racine Zoo is officially welcoming Bristle and Nettle, two African Cape porcupines, to their new exhibit. 

These two can be found exploring their new home in the northeast enclosure inside the Vanishing Kingdom at Racine Zoo.

Though new to this exhibit and zoo visitors, Bristle and Nettle have been at the zoo for several months. Part of this time was spent in quarantine. The rest was spent awaiting the repainting and conversion of the old arctic fox exhibit in preparation for their arrival and getting used to their new caretakers.
