The porcupine's favorite tree

The porcupine breaks many twigs from the pine tree at the center of this picture. The tree was in the same state last year and there is a clear path where the bark is more worn. I wonder what’s special about this tree that the porcupine took a liking to it.

Paparazi'd porcupine

Very glad to finally see it 🙂 It looks like he sets out for his nightly routine around 1:00AM and comes back around 6:00AM, having partied all night I speculate.

Thanks to Mike for lending me his trailcam 🙂
