Maine man in search of valuable mineral performs C-section on dead porcupine, saves baby

LISBON, Maine (AP) -- A Maine man in search of a valuable mineral cut open a dead porcupine on the side of the road and unexpectedly pulled out its baby.

Jared Buzzell, of Lisbon, says he was searching for wild mushrooms Thursday when he saw a porcupine get hit by a car in Minot. Buzzell says he'd heard that a valuable mineral deposit used in Chinese medicine formed in the stomachs of porcupines.

He then cut open the dead porcupine to search for the mineral and instead found the baby.

He tells WMTW-TV (bit.ly/1hlWRUl) he cut the umbilical cord and thought the baby porcupine was dead until he started massaging it and it began breathing.

Buzzell is caring for the baby at home and plans to give it to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator

you can get bezoars from eating unripe persimmons and the doctor will tell you to drink a bunch of pepsi to get rid of it. because of this my childhood neighbors had to forcefeed their dog cola.

must be startling for hikers—and awkward for our hero. why am I out here in the middle of the woods, hunched over a dissected porcupine carcass? well, i'm crazy about wild mushrooms, you know, and i've been reading a lot about chinese medicine lately

hmm Chinese medicine, ancient knowledge, who says the classics aren't valuable, fuckwits? looks like the wisdom of our ancestors saved a baby porcupine.

Infinite Grover, 28, who lives in an apartment at the address where the food was ordered, said he saw blood and bags of food on the street after the shooting.

Wynona loved her big brown beaver
And she stroked him all the time.
She pricked her finger one day and
it occurred to her she might have a porcupine.
