Maine driving down the road when this guy caught my eye. He was mostly white but not albino. I took the picture from the car window.

This is a strange looking porky all right. Looks good for a quick shot. Too bad about the chopped off tail, but sometimes you can only take what's available.

Yes, Norma, at first glance, this looks like a possum, not a porkie. Nice job getting the critter sharp even as it's surroundings show motion blur.

The head, ears and tail are wrong for a porcupine, even juvenile. I don't have much experience with possums, but maybe that's what this is?
