Talking Porcupine "Teddy Bear" Devours Baby Pumpkin If you're tired of the ghouls and ghosts of Halloween, take a minute here to watch your daily dose of adorable animal cuteness. The Internet-famous talking porcupine known as "Teddy Bear" is back again, this time devouring the food of the season, a baby pumpkin. Listen closely as you watch "Teddy Bear" eat the pumpkin to hear what he thinks of the holiday treat. Teddy is a YouTube sensation made famous by Zooniversity, a Texas-based traveling wildlife education company. The prickly critter was orphaned after birth and brought to Zooniversity in Dallas after being found abandoned in a barn. Teddy first started making noises to get the attention of its "Mommy," Allison Blankenship, Zooniversity's owner, according to Teddy's Facebook page. "Now I'm all grown up and I'm a teacher," Teddy "writes" in his Facebook bio. I go to schools and libraries and stuff and people learn all about porcupines by meeting me. I like the applause ... and the sweet potato treats she feeds me while I work.
