Whipsnade Zoo releases footage of baby cape porcupine
Footage has been released of a three-week-old porcupine born at one of the UK's largest zoos.
Keepers at Whipsnade Zoo have called it Dakari - a Zimbabwean name meaning "rejoice", but will have to wait for the animal's first health check to discover the sex.
It is a second baby in six months for mother Kimya, who gave birth to Oti in August.
Cape porcupine pregnancies last for 94 days and its young are known as porcupettes.
