“It was crazy, honestly.”
Recently, Emerice Hallock and her brother were traveling along a desolate section of roadway in Alberta, Canada, when they noticed something unexpected.
There, in the undergrowth on the edge of the road, stood a stark, white figure posing by itself.
Hallock first assumed it was merely a strange pebble, but she had moved too rapidly to be sure.
However, it turned out that Hallock’s brother had a superior view. He became aware of the amazing reality.
Hallock said to us that “he was urging me to turn around.” He reported having seen an albino porcupine. I said, “Yeah, OK.” He started to panic, so I turned around.
It wasn’t simply what Hallock’s brother was observing.
Sure enough, it was an albino porcupine — a rare sight indeed. The condition is said to occur in only about 1 out of 10,000 porcupines.
Hopping out of the car for a better look, Hallock couldn’t believe her eyes.
“It was crazy, honestly,” she said. “I’ve never seen a porcupine in my life, so seeing an albino one was mind blowing.”
The porcupine moseyed through the underbrush looking healthy and content despite being so noticeable with his all-white hair and quills. He appeared nearly to be aware of his greatness.
“He seemed well!” Hallock remarked.
She even succeeded in filming the tiny child conducting himself in a video.
The spiny albino eventually made his way back into the nearby woodland, clearly content that visitors had complimented his bold and vivid look.
And it most certainly had.
It will undoubtedly stick in my memory, said Hallock.
