On a whim I googled for camilla porcupine and found several results including a (we)blog one by a Warwick University student who reported at:-
http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/mmannion/
"A lost porcupine that was reported missing from it's home in the West Country last Sunday was found safe and well in Windsor yesterday. The porcupine was feared dead when it was found to have escaped during the night, deftly picking the lock on it's cage and abseiling down from the third floor of the building before speeding away in its' owners Lambourghini.
Despite the sighting yesterday in the public eye, it is not known whether or not the porcupine has returned to its owner. Unconfirmed reports have been both confirming and denying the death of the porcupine, but what we can summise is that its escape was due to the inflated price of oil

Brit humo(u)r at its best!!!
actually that weblog has several pretty funny items
