Rico the Cincinnati Zoo Porcupine Is Going Viral for His Adorable Snacking
A 6-year-old prehensile-tailed porcupine is poised to be the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden's next social media star.

Rico, who was born at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and came to Cincinnati at 3 months old, has captivated the zoo's social media audience with his boop-able nose, love for snoozing and the adorable way he crunches on snacks.

He is viewable to the public every day at the zoo's animal ambassador center, where he might be seen napping or eating some of his favorite foods.
