Calgary wildlife centre cures porcupine of snoring by trimming his teeth
CALGARY — A Calgary wildlife centre has cured a porcupine with a snoring problem.
The Kyne family has shared their backyard with the rodent they named Billy Jo for the past several years.
They recorded video of him sleeping and when staff at the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society watched it, they realized the porcupine’s problem was more than a sleep disorder.
Billy Jo’s top teeth are deformed, allowing his bottom teeth to keep growing right up into his nose and making it hard for him to breathe.
