Current Events: Betty White Adored Animals, So Shelters and Zoos Are Celebrating Her 100th Birthday

They asked White to name the male porcupine, and she chose the name Allen, after her late husband, Allen Ludden. White, who passed away at 99, visited the center two to three times a year, spending time with the porcupines by feeding and petting them.
