A paraplegic porcupine at a zoo in Sao Paolo, Brazil, has new way to get around thanks to a wheelchair made out of plumbing pipes.
Zookeepers said the disabled animal was going to be put to sleep when a worker suggested trying to make the chair after seeing a similar one for dogs on YouTube.
Zoo officials said it cost less than five dollars to make and has a sling and wheels to help take the stress off the animal's back.
The porcupine has been at the zoo in Sao Paolo since May after being rescued from a nightclub.
