Can confirm! Held one recently at this crazy place that had all sorts of animals for huggin’. We don’t have ‘roos here but you bet my ass was huggin a ‘roo. What the fuck is a binturong? Fuckin adorable, and huggable. Consider it hugged. Porcupine?
…well, that one I just pet. Didn’t realize you can just pet them. And they’re like 4x bigger than I expected from movies. V v sweet tho. I also only pet the capybaras. They didn’t look like they wanted to be hugged. Too chill for hugs.
Now that I think about it, there was also a porcupine at the event with the armadillo. As long as you pet in the direction the quills lay, you're fine. Pet the other way... well, I didn't try it but I don't think the outcome would be very comfortable.
