Two animals that are among the most difficult to observe, at least in Italy, live in perfect harmony in the same den. The porcupine is the largest rodent and the badger is the largest member of the weasel family living in Italy. Spending the daylight hours in their underground shelter, they come out at night to wander around suspiciously, protected by the darkness. For a whole year we observed their cautious nightly outings and watched their mysterious behavior from behind a window placed in their den.
