'I was in shock': Sask. homeowner finds a porcupine stowaway in her garage

In a growing city it’s no surprise when suburban residents come across wild animals around their yards, but one Saskatoon homeowner in Kensington started poking around for answers when she spotted a quilled critter hanging out in her garage.

In a growing city it’s no surprise when suburban residents come across wild animals around their yards, but one Saskatoon homeowner in Kensington started poking around for answers when she spotted a quilled critter hanging out in her garage.

“So, I checked my cameras, and he came from behind my car and in this way.”

Security video captured the moment a porcupine decided to take up temporary shelter in Jackie Morley’s garage.

She hadn’t looked at her security footage before this happened.

“I’m in the garage and I’m putting things away. I turn around and there is a porcupine. I’m like is that real,” Morley told CTV News.

The animal wasn’t being aggressive but was more timid she recalls.

“I put something down and I was in shock. It had come halfway into the garage,” she says.
