Thank you to Victor117, Enkrum, Von Pincier, JerryJohn and everyone else who helped to crit me on this.

Got the idea for this one when I was out camping last summer surrounded by the tall trees seen in the second picture. Lots of the kids I was taking care of that week where more freaked out by this area than normal. Got to thinking about how easily something big could be hiding up there in the dark.

I like these weird sentient porcupines, but it's not really clear what about them is anomalous until the end (which is locked behind a level 3 clearence thing?) i'm not totally up to date on viderics, but are they now visible to the entire human race, or only those exposed to them? The idea they're like, memetically camoflagued is fascinating if it's the latter and it'd be cool to see that written about a little somewhere if so.

Beyond that

The instances show some sapient abilities, being able to solve puzzles for rewards and becoming accustomed to daily routines.

Maybe could be "The instances show rudimentary sapience, expressing the ability to solve puzzles for rewards and becoming accustomed to daily routines." or something? "some sapient abilities" just reads weird to me.

Otherwise they're cute and I like them

Thanks for the feedback! I changed the wording for the sapience as you suggested.

Although they are quite strong the viderics are the main reason that they are classified as anomalous instead of just rare creatures or something like that. As for these specific anomalies, people with some knowledge of them will now be able to perceive them in the wild should they naturally run into them. People who are not aware may just walk right past. Check out the Viderics page for more on that!
