The weekly local public affairs program, Southern Tier Close Up gets all warm and fuzzy (and a little prickley) as Rachel Davenport of Binghamton's Ross Park Zoo talks about some new additions to the collection, including a baby porcupine that was born just a few weeks ago.

The zoo also has several summer programs and special events in the works as vacation season  gets into full swing.  A full listing of those programs as well as zoo hours and ticket information can be found at www.rossparkzoo.com or by calling (607) 724-5461.

Southern Tier Close up airs Saturdays at 12:10 p.m. on News Radio 1290 WNBF.
