Tiny Goat Visits Porcupine

Ruth and Sonia visited a porcupine named Sharpie, and things got a little prickly.

[@mlleariane6667]

So you're telling me that there are several species of animals going on walks around the zoo ??? I love this.

[@bg6b7bft]

I love that the porcupine doesn't get a leash. He's got one speed, he's chill, and he trusts you.

[@ShaiMyst]

I love that the porcupine's name is Sharpie lol

[@ryarod]

"Did you see the way that big rat with the weird hair looked at us?" "Yeah. What a prick."

[@ShovelChef]

Could also be, "weird rat with big hair."

[@dixgun]

I like how the porcupine has no reaction to the goats 😁😆

[@Akentrophyta]

Porcupines have notoriously poor vision

[@dixgun]

@@Akentrophyta should've known. that explains it then. thanks. :)

[@Truffle85]

@@dixgun Also, I think it guessed that the goats were not predators, and therefore it could just ignore it.

[@MissMyoozikal]

You can hear the porcupine quills brush against the camera. So cool!

[@glenm99]

In years of trundling about in the wild, I've run into cougars, bears, coyotes, wolves, and a somewhat agitated moose... and none of those encounters scared me as much as the time a porcupine rattled its quills at me. Those are some brave little goats! (And people!)

[@ashxxiv]

I used to breed and raise goats when I was a teen. I first had 3 adults of which had a few batches of offspring and I can tell ya.. from birth to adulthood these creatures are adorable, curious, gentle, and excited through and through! and when they become mothers you can add 'very protective' to that list c: 🐐❤️

[@georgeralph8031]

The goats seem to have a degree of intellectual curiosity.

[@biancabianchi2223]

I love Sonia and Ruth : Little Goats Visits , they are very special 😙😙😙😙😙😌

[@aniciawong7784]

The meeting is so sweet and fun! But it's good to keep them at a safe distance.👍🥰

[@manumudgal4988]

Porcupine is the fashion icon of this place... The way it walks though is cute

[@helenpruzan6970]

I love, love, love these walks and meetings!!!!Those porcupines are really amazing.Of course Ruth and Sonja are just adorable.💗💗💗😺

[@djdebssuperlawyersjusticeu9855]

Great name for the GOAT

[@kattatonic1]

These are really sweet little educational vignettes. Keep them coming!

[@dogquixote]

These are the only reaction videos that the internet needs more of

[@gwenratcliffe3815]

The sculpture garden is pretty. The goats and the porcupines are cute.

[@nilo70]

"Sounds of the quills had them rattled". Priceless . Loved this vid. Subbed. Cheers from California !

[@Telstar62a]

Love the reaction..."It's like nothing I've seen!"

[@TheSpelledMilk]

These videos are awesome. Please keep them coming. This little goat is so cute, I can't stand it.

[@heather8697]

Love those blue eyes on Ruth:) Great video:)

[@Dem0nD0ll]

I need to move to Oregon and get a job at this zoo.

[@cleanserene6330]

I've been thinking the exact same thing...

[@BJGvideos]

I worked there for a bit. Pretty nice.

[@christinecameron1612]

hahaha Ruth looks fearless enough to give her keepers a few grey hairs

[@nickc3856]

And if Ruth lives another year or two, she'll probably outlast the old hag she was named after!

[@christinecameron1612]

LOL yeah seriously at this point it's anybody's race

[@Vovo-zx4ql]

They bite hard too. They are incredibly strong and determined.

[@svharken6907]

those goats know a porcupine is dangerous as hell. nice little jump backwards lil' goat.good job.

[@ceciLOVEtaco]

l love the porcupine's hair style ~

[@larywest7341]

I LOVE THOSE TWO LITTLE RASCALS !!!!

[@OCRay1]

Lol. Instincts are amazing. They gave that porcupine a wide berth. Those quills are no joke

[@Coraki]

Brillant idea (not sarcasm, but quite clever) to train the porcupine to follow a loofah.

[@MaryMuromcew]

i love u goat

You are cool, your animals are cute. Its fun to watch your animals. Thanks from Germany 🐾💖🍀💖💖💖🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Sharpie the porcupine!! 😹 I want to visit the Oregon Zoo! I see some apprehension coming from the goats!! ❤❤❤

[@vazak11]

Love this!

[@crimsondynamo615]

Ahh what a nice video about a cute little goat. I wonder what the comment section is like. *INSTANT REGRETS*

[@katb4738]

Blood Red just thinking the same thing😂😂😂

[@rogernesmith2279]

What are people saying?

[@heatherhaze3680]

I've seen a most of these now and i think they seemed the most freaked out by this guy! I cant believe the porcupine even gets to go on walks around the park, very cool, and even without a harness...that was surprising. But then again, how would one get it on? lol

[@svenable567]

I LOVE Goats!

[@nelsonlobo3615]

S Venable When you get one, you won't be so fond of them. They stink and love to butt you on the behind when you aren't looking. However, a man with a goatee beard is a different case.

[@rosem6604]

Good instincts, goatsies!

[@yuliandriani7964]

Whaaaat?! Goat on the leash? That's cute tho....

[@chrysantha9769]

so damn cute !!!

[@damotoneko1500]

That was so cute

[@benm5221]

You folks are so cool and wonderful! I don't know if you guys are aware of, or got the idea from for the "Meet and Greet" of goats and other animals from the origin of the expression "Got your goat!" Race horse owners and grooms once believed that putting a goat in the stall with a race horse at night ensured the horse had a relaxing night before a race. Is that belief the origin of your idea for introducing goats to other animals? So, the expression "Getting" or "Taking away" someone's goat means "To do something that denies a person relaxation or fun by upsetting them." Your walking the goats hopefully facilities the animals to relax and enjoy the encounters...I wonder if goats can be calming for people too?

[@doakley3900]

I agree with your observations

[@Jasonwolf1495]

Usually what people mistake for "shooting" is the porcupine raising the spikes up and hoping which will give it that extra inch to poke into something. If you're the one getting pricked you probably are a bit distracted to not realize the quill wasn't fired out. This has just been my experience working with people in parks in NY.

[@confuseatronica]

This is Ruth: she's been jumping on top of things since she was five... minutes old.

[@carly7428]

I like how most of these boil down to "the $^$ is that?!"

[@TVisTheRetina]

The goat looks like Ruth Ginsberg but more attractive, smells better too.

[@angelfire1156]

That porcupine reminds me of my dog

[@TanabiGoat]

So the porcupine escort keepers, they have something that looks like a soap bar on a stick. What is that anyway? Is it like, a scoop to push the porcupine if you need to guide him? I've seen the keepers have those soap bar things in every video the porcupines are in :)

[@sweatpantsprincess3239]

I wonder if the porcupines have met the elephants and mara and everyone too!

Rinha de cabra com porco espinho kkkkkkkkk

[@inkspec2.022]

Porcupines can be cute sometimes but it's kind of unsettling seeing videos of dogs, humans, animals having the quills in them. But they are cute when they eat

[@SuperLoops]

i like porcapines

[@Telstar62a]

It's like "West Side Story"!!!

[@VendErre]

thos3 warning colors lol. it works.

[@adrianadefrel5005]

May i ask what you feed the goats while walking around

[@martialme84]

Whats that giant Q-tip the procupine handlers have? What´s it for?

[@PuccallpaGirl]

martialme84 The porcupine is most likely target trained. It has been trained to target the tip of the "q-tip" with its nose in exchange for treats. The keepers use the tip of the stick to show the animal where to go. The animal is able to follow on it's own and is able to take walks and participate without needing to be handled or stressed out.

[@procrastinator41]

Goats have common sense

[@ONLYLOVEIZATION]

The porcupine doesn’t do leads lol!

[@George.Orwell]

Next time can we do a Tiny Goat visits T-Rex ?

[@BJGvideos]

They probably could. Just take them by the chickens.

[@captaintrips2980]

I hit a porky with my truck once. It was like running over a tree stump. There were quills stuck in the tire. Dark night, country road. Killed it outright, thankfully.

[@Deontjie]

Did the goat try to scam the pig?

[@skrame01]

no leash on the porcupine!

[@S2Tubes]

They have those giant ear cleaners to guide it.

[@ebonyobrien5895]

How could you even get a leash on that animal lol

[@j.2903]

I couldn't hear the quill sound because music. 😟

[@S2Tubes]

The animals don't seem that into it.

[@creamgravy1]

Goat moms confirmed?

Ah yea, the tiny goat shouldnt be named after a lizard.

[@MindandQiR1]

[@oblivionnow92]

Who the hell thought porcupines can shoot their quills? This ain't the x-men.

[@captaintrips2980]

It's a very old myth that probably came from the quick slap of the tail that imbeds the quills.

[@BrentDelong1253]

Yeah, goats like to jump and climb on everything. What could possibly go wrong.

[@Rberg1105]

Why in the world would you name a goat after RBG?
