[@scifirocks]

I think you should call her Thistle.

[@untappedinkwell]

[@mastelsa]

[@lizznpeepz1312]

Yeah thats such a great name!

[@scifirocks]

:) Thistles are spiky and have to be handled gently, but have such pretty flowers, plus they're a symbol for nobility in heraldry.

Jessi: "Here we have a blend of pear and carrot." Me, an intellectual: *You mean parrot?*

[@mattfranks4335]

At first I thought she said hair and carrot lol .

She looks so cool with her little tuft of hair, it's like a mini Mohawk Maybe her name could be Mo!

[@Nagarath16]

And it has to be said as cutely how Mo robot in Wall-E says the name! Mm-O!

[@Holtza]

I was thinking the same about the tuft of hair looking like a mini Mohawk, and I love that name suggestion.

In the words of John Oliver: "That is violently adorable!" Thank you for sharing. =)

[@DietterichLabs]

I do appreciate a John Oliver quote, especially such an appropriate one.

[@dshepherd107]

Indeed sir! Or madam!

[@Kaneanite]

Oh my goodness she is so adorable! Kemosabe better watch out because he has some strong competition in the cute category.

[@RodrigoBarbosaBR]

I miss Kemosabe. Wish there were more videos of him.

[@deathrattle3]

they can be cute together!!!

[@RodrigoBarbosaBR]

21locusts No, they can't. That would be cuteness overload, and would crash the internet.

[@xFragex]

Imagine if she spoke like Kemosabe. I think I would melt.

[@Kaneanite]

Rodrigo Barbosa It would be worth crashing the internet to see the combined cuteness of this new baby porcupine and Kemosabe.

[@KaaSerpent]

TONTO. You have Kemosabe. You need to call her Tonto. :)

[@sakuramiko16]

bramble or thistle would be adorable names.

[@Brainbuster]

omg Bramble

[@XX-gy7ue]

this baby porcupine has to be one of the most beautiful beings in all of creation !

Mohawk is a good name

[@misbahailia3345]

[@johnjacob688]

I find my self watching this video at least once a day. I love when you have her in the blanket, she looks so damn cute.

[@efrenchen293]

How about bramble? Or, as others have suggested, Rose.

[@S34U5]

I really like Bramble.

[@emmers280]

Efren Chen Going with the spiky plant names, how about Thistle?

[@efrenchen293]

[@deathrattle3]

i like rose!

[@carlyfisher8445]

i am a simple person; i see baby porcupine, and i click. Oh! And name suggestion: Maybe go with something kinda related to Kemosabe, since they're both porcupines! Idk what though.

[@LaurenFairwx]

She's amazing! This just warms my heart, seeing you take such good care of her. She's absolutely adorable!! Thank you for showing her to us.

[@cravenlunatic1]

Well that was an unexpected youtube crossover

[@Omni0404]

It must have been a difficult decision to take her in with as much time as it takes to care for her at the moment. I imagine you have to be very selective of what you can and cannot take in so it's good to see her getting the care she needs! Did you all know you can set Animal Wonders as your Amazon Smile charity? I have no idea how much they get but every little bit counts.

[@animalwondersmontana]

Omni0404 It's a really tough choice who we can take in and who we know we just can't care for. Thanks for thinking of the bigger picture! And thanks for reminding everyone about Amazon Smile, we get a nice donation every few months. It's not a ton, but like you said, every little bit helps!

[@ChrisABaird-mf4xt]

"How about spike?" -Lavrans (8 years old, Norway)

[@jocelynecupcake]

That's the cutest thing ever! ^o^ I don't know how I found this but that's so pure and precious!

[@Nagarath16]

Where did that tiny super Sonic came from? What's her story to end up your care?

[@jackoghost]

sonic is a hedgehog..

[@Nagarath16]

jackoghost I know that but it doesn't mean that she don't look like that. Overall if we really start to be picky about details - sonic is kinda big hedgehog cause he is Tails size who is a fox.

[@jackoghost]

Nagarath16 well perhaps in a alternate universe where sonic is a porcupine, also sonic is boy

[@Nagarath16]

jackoghost So? Not like that name is titled only to male sex organ.

[@jackoghost]

Nagarath16 neither is it to any species, but in this universe Sonic is a male hedgehog, not a porcupine with female sex organs

[@secretaltruism4174]

Awesome video, great to see everything from the beginning. With that mohawk (crest), maybe something punk? And since she's a girl, Ramona?

lol I liked this comment before but I only just got it! Bc roses have thorns :)

[@dereklarsen5229]

How about Penny?😊 "Pen" is that African word for "quill!"

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

What about Thistle?

[@KFKale]

Name her Dornen, German for Thorns. Better than something like Stachelig, which means Spiky.

[@marchinghurdler]

I like the non-English idea. But I'd say maybe Arabic, Bantu, Sudanese, or one of the many other African dialects from the countries in which the crested porcupine are found.

[@mustardsfire22]

Why not Silver? Lone Ranger reference, like Kemosabe.

[@jebus6kryst]

She kind of looks like Storm during her punk stage. Maybe Ororo.

[@germnursern]

Thank you for giving her a chance at life 💕

[@GeorgiaHarrisyo]

I've always liked the name Molly. :)

[@bluegirl7221]

God bless animals and good heart people like u lady 💕💕💕

[@CyrilleParis]

Thanks for all your great video! And thanks to gave me the idea to have a kitten in my flat. It's been 3 months now and we are both happy!

[@DollSchmidt4429]

Aw she was complaining 😊 so adorable! Bendy approved!

[@Palitato]

Thistle is a great name for her! And I also like Bramble, or Briar Rose. Or maybe Sage! Crested Porcupines look so wise and noble, Sage would be a fun name.

[@misbahailia3345]

Love her chubby arms, and soft fringe. 😚💗 Good name for her would be, "beauty bean".👌

[@Anna-bv5fp]

Trixie for her genus Hystrix

[@jaimie00]

She's so adorable! And I love her little silver mohawk.

[@maryaranyos6669]

Adorable!!! How did Kemosabe react to his new baby sibling? ;)

[@chiaradina]

You are so nice to watch... and Kemosabe and this -now grown- beauty are super nourishment for the ❤️ to watch. You are doing an amazing job! 🙏🏼

[@madelinebaltierrapratt5879]

since her species is native to Kenya, the Swahili name Elimisha, which means "teaches knowledge" is super beautiful for her!

[@DrewDriskill]

When Jessi said body massage I was half expecting to hear Jenna's ear blood come on. I think she should be named Violet after the African Violet.

[@DuluthTW]

Name her Princess because of the crown of hair on her head.

[@GoncalosPets]

She's so cute, could you do a video update on her? Love your videos :)

[@BattlingBeasts]

What a cute lil' porcupette! I'll name her Brambisnuff!

[@schpookendike]

BattlingBeasts I vote for Brambisnuff!

[@DrCHUD666]

it's official BABY PORCUPINE IS THE CUTEST!!!!!!!! She's just adorable. Whenever I hear the porcupine noises (look up Teddy Bear the porcupine for just major cuteness),.......I just smile. But in any case,......she's just a little cutie.

[@cleodello]

My top choice would be... Trix (or Trixie)! It's a play off of her species's scientific name (Hystrix Cristata). Alternatively there's also.. Crista or Cristi? Other than that there are a lot of nice North African names, like Tasa (my favourite), Nada, Rania, or Hana? Or just call her Apple? She likes purée and there are human beings named Apple, so why not a porcupine?

[@cleodello]

And after going through all the comments, I also like: Bramble, Thistle, Pear, and Mo!

[@leahjackson8340]

Cleodel trixie is so cute

[@echaltraw]

My 7-year old son suggests naming her 'Pokey.'

[@petalphan]

nungu is swahili for porcupine. that might be a cute name. :)

[@alangebhardt8286]

What about Quill? Other suggestions of Rose and Mo (short for mohawk) are pretty good too

[@langsense]

Oh my god, the cute! Plus I love watching you with the animals too.

[@karijordan4930]

I just discovered ur channel. My grandson Michael who is 4yrs old luv u guys so much! He wants to name this African Crested Porcupine KIMBALA. Thank u 4 this very special video...we🫶'd it!!!

[@Therealgwen47]

I love animal wonders I wish you did 2 videos a week

[@Fishysua]

My 7 year old recommends naming her French Fries

[@stephaniemancuso3263]

Name suggestion: Silvia because of her silver Mohawk

[@kiimerle5513]

Omg I KNEW I saw you before!! My son recently got new glasses and I was trying to find a toddler show for him to help him understand why and I found the Scishow kids! I was picking my brain for days cause I knew I've seen u before!!! Sure enough I was like wasn't this that lady with the animal sanctuary....if this isn't you, you 100% have a twin

[@yeeturmcbeetur8197]

A blend of pear and carrot is just a parrot.

[@outnextstop]

From now on , when i see sonic, i'll say : sonic the hedgehog? more like sonic the porcupine, hedgehogs are very cute but clearly the stylish hair comes from porcupines, I don't know if they can roll into ball though, and run at the speed of light

[@LOUDMOUTHTYRONE]

Will she be as big as Kemosabe?

[@LOUDMOUTHTYRONE]

I forgot the name. Name her Miku (Me-key-u).

[@MatthewSchellGaming]

I think she will be bigger in over all size (body, weight and size of quills). Though Kemosabe has a long tail that technically will make him longer. Kemosabe likes to spend most of his time in high places, but she will not.

[@kiragoettsch]

She will actually likely also be longer than Kemosabe, in addition to being heavier and overall larger. African crested porcupines are the second largest mammal in the world, right behind capybaras. If you haven't seen it, there is at least one video out there of an adult defending itself against a pride of lions, very impressive and fun animals to work with! I was lucky enough to work with both an African and Indian crested porcupine.

[@LOUDMOUTHTYRONE]

Second largest mammal in the world? Second to the blue whale?

[@axelasdf]

Kira Goettsch: You realize Whales are mammals, right? As are humans?

[@timy.9512]

Maybe Pronkertjie- the Afrikaans for "Sweet Pea" or even better still, Waridi ("rose'' in Swahili).

[@CathieZimmerman]

I suggest Silver for that cute lil Mohawk!

[@brennanstokkermans9703]

[@lillieleach4299]

I like Briar Rose! It's cute, a little edgy, but sweet. It is the peasant name of Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)

[@rubychen2635]

Momo is a cute name.....or Sunny.

[@AtlasJr]

Ruby Chen kpop bias much? Lol

[@rubychen2635]

haha.....at least i didn't offer yoona, yuri, or taeyeon. I am a kpop trash. Momo actually comes from anime not Twice. I like anime too. Attack on Titan....

[@AtlasJr]

Ruby Chen I guess I'm worse I just saw your picture and though of Kpop right away, and I was confused about AOT but I I just noticed that my picture for KZbin lol

[@bear1568]

Thanks for sharing! Name for a girl porcupine...Quilly!

[@alexandraw909]

SHE IS SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!! bu how did you end up with her??? will there be an explanation video?? and i think Penny for a name, Penny the Porcupine!

[@ascfencer]

I like the Project for Awesome idea that a few people have had. Getting to name this cutie would be a GREAT perk! :D

[@ethanthompson3198]

feeds baby porcupine. *dies*

[@PortyDos]

My daughter says Pordelia - a porcupine’s name from a book she read. Pordy for short :)

[@Delephene]

I have seen a couple people suggesting Bramble and I'm joining. She's a cute little bramble

[@EmilyJustice]

Name ideas inspired by Morocco, one of the countries crested porcupines live natviely: Yasmine, Sarah, Fatima, or Rania. She's going to be a great animal ambassador! =D

[@JustDoNotBlink]

I think Pear would be a really cute name. She clearly liked to eat the pears you gave her, and she herself is a bit of a prickly pear after all ;)

[@creolepritch9865]

After much thought I agree that since we all love Kimosabe so much we should name her something keeping to the Lone Ranger theme. Silver is great but just not right for the little lady. So I suggest Aggie for Ag the chemical element for silver.

[@youtuwatch3775]

Still rewatching this video 3 years later... Animal Wonders Montana , you guys are so awesome. This video just gives me warm fuzzies to see a person caring for a tiny little porcupine like their own baby is so adorable and amazing

[@BlackCat_2]

Just showed my son this video and he said he would name her Jezebel. At least I know my son paid attention to his history lessons. *grin* - Heidi

How on earth could a porcupine be so cute and adorable? But she is!

[@winneythepooh1717]

where did she come from? I wouldn't think that African crested porcupines are common as pets. We have a few at the Calgary Zoo (adults). I like Mo as a name (as said before).

[@Yahriel]

I was about to say Moe/Mo too! That crest - mohawk... Mo!
