We’re heartbroken to share that our elderly North American porcupine has passed away from age-related health conditions. Ernie was born at Houston Zoo in September of 2007 to his parents Cody and Kendall. From the moment he arrived, he made an impact with everyone he crossed paths with. Once he was old enough, he moved into an ambassador animal role. As an ambassador, he helped form connections with guests and animals just like him in the wild. He was very smart and learned several different behaviors that helped him to connect with the guests he crossed paths with, including a fan-favorite “wave.” He was an amazing ambassador who was able to help connect communities with animals and inspire action to save wildlife. Ernie will be greatly missed by everyone here at Houston Zoo as well as all of those whose lives he touched throughout his 16 years. Read more via link in bio.
