RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- Have you been holding on to the perfect name for a baby porcupine? Lend your expertise to Maymont in their recently opened naming poll!
It's been a month since Maymont announced that The Robins Nature Center is now home to two female baby porcupines -- also known as porcupettes.
In that time, one porcupette has already received the name Sandy from a donor, but Sandy's friend still needs a name.
From more than 110 names, five have been selected for the final vote, as explained by Maymont: • Quillma (a play on her coat of quills) • Rizzo (a reference to the movie Grease) • Prickles (for her prickly nature) • Barb (her quills are barbed to latch onto predators) • Sallie (a tribute to Maymont founder, Sallie May Dooley)
