We are talking about the flu here not small pox. Make no mistake, when it comes to the flu, itâs a money driven game! The verdict is out on flu shots.

Porcupine babies are born more developed than the babies of many other types of rodents, mostly because porcupines tend to have one baby at a time instead of litters, and they carry the babies for up to seven months before delivery. But the babies still need their moms, and they sometimes stay with them for up to a year.
A North American Porcupine was born April 24 at WCSâs (Wildlife Conservation Society) Bronx Zoo and is now on exhibit with his family in the newly renovated Childrenâs Zoo. The male porcupette was born to mother, Alice, and father, Patrick, and this is the pairâs fourth offspring.
