Creator Transcript
  • Erithizon Monashee Pass, B.C. [British Columbia] June 25/37 [1937]. Took a young, very light colored animal + an old darker one - [female symbol], the latter was with a yearling young. When I approached the young one it gave a grunting squeal. Mt. [Mount] Revelstoke. July 3/37 [1937]. An old, dark, individual was encountered today on Eva Lake trail about 2 mi [miles] from the Lookout. It did not notice my presence until I was within 6 ft [feet]. It then erected its quills + slowly turned its head towards me. Whenever I moved it would lash its tail. Oct. [October] 29/40 [1940]. Dr. [Braham Grey] Griffith UBC [University of British Columbia] dept. [department] Forestry. tells me that at Aleza Lake, B.C. [British Columbia] in June 19__ [space left blank] he watched a pair of porcupines copulating. He watched the process by flashlight + reported it to occupy about 1/2 hour. The two porcupines stood up belly to belly grasping each other with their front legs. He was originally attracted to them by the continuous "talking" they were doing.
