Shedd Aquarium
Porcupines get treats too! Tyson, Shedd’s prehensile-tailed porcupine, is a gentle and curious animal from the Amazon rainforest. Though Tyson isn’t on view, he’s one of the many animals Shedd cares for behind the scenes. You can engage with him during some of our animal experiences in Amazon Rising to help deepen your connection to our animals and to look nature in the eye.
