Help needed with a porous Treefrog Print

I have the MK2 kit, it went together beautifully, and for the most part I've had very few problems with prints. I decided to print the treefrog model shipped with it, and I'm noticing some porosity at the end of the print. A little is also seen on the underside at the very bottom. The rest of the print looks great. Printing using Hatchbox PLA, tried the default PLA temps, then dropped it down to 200, no change.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Poor material maybe? Stored or fresh? Default settings with the Prusa. I find print along with others ie Adafruit Noe and Ruiz print at the higher end temperatures of materials.

Maybe poor material. Received & opened the PLA ~10 days ago, printing with it fairly consistently since then, fairly dry environment. My other thing to try is go back to the silver PLA the printer came with and give that a whirl.
