While running through Bicentennial Park in Anchorage, biologist Jessy Coltrane spotted
a porcupine in a birch tree. On her runs on days following, she saw it again and again,
in good weather and bad. Over time, she knew which Alaska creature she wanted to study.
Coltrane’s study cast some midwinter light on the Alaska porcupine, perhaps the least-studied
mammal in the state.
