Video of Porcupine Eating Peanut Butter Is the Ultimate Timeline Cleanse
As popular as dog and cat videos may be, cuteness comes in all shapes and sizes. Just look at Rico the porcupine! The Cincinnati Zoo resident is just as sweet as he is spiky, but the way he eats peanut butter is taking TikTok by storm.
The smile-inducing clip might only be 17 seconds long, but we're ready to play this on repeat. Rico looks (and sounds) simply precious with his snack!
Aren't you just in love with this lil' guy? From the way he stares into the camera to the way he smacks the peanut butter, there's so much to adore in such a short amount of time. We're on the exact same page as @naomib1980 who wrote, "How is this real? How can something be this cute OMG." We're just as flabbergasted as you are! It's easy to see how @879sunshine came to this conclusion, though: "I wanna snuggle him, I don’t care if it pokes me." With great cuteness comes great sacrifice!
"He uses a spoon," @ellenthejester gushed. "Look at that little hand holding that little spoon." It's the most adorable thing! Rico eats so politely and gently, too--it goes to show how great his handlers must be. They're raising a little gentleman, to say the least.
@Aprilcox0 said, "he looks like he’s watching his favorite show and snacking," and we just can't help but agree! Hey--maybe that's the secret they use to get this porcupine to look into the camera. Who knows?
