A porcupine was seen inside of a shopping center in Round Rock Texas last week gained the attention of shoppers at the Frontera shopping center.
The customers who were shopping found it odd that an animal was also window shopping with them.
The Round Rock Police Department had a police officer enter the shopping center and safely remove the animal without anyone being hurt.
Porcupines are known for being in the area in Round Rock Texas and nearby towns.

What is this? The porcupine is not allowed to make any purchases?

How odd that he was in a shopping center. Porcupines are cool. I had an opportunity to feed one; but I couldn't walk as far as was required.

It is kind of odd that a porcupine was seen in a shopping mall in Round Rock even though animal control officials admit that porcupines are in that area.

It was good that nobody got spiked by the porcupine, and it was safely rescued.

Glad it was safely removed I would have imagined otherwise due to its sharp spikes
