Thanks for sharing this video. I saw one nested in a tree by my house yesterday, but couldn't identify what it was because it was so high up. I never saw a porcupine climb a tree before although I've lived in the country all my life. I thought that it must be a raccoon but I couldn't see any markings because it was all bunched up sleeping. I watched it through my window with binoculars various times for about 3 hours when it finally started climbing down. I still couldn't identify it. I thought it looked like a beaver or a groundhog but I didn't think either could climb trees and even if they could, why would they? At one point I even thought it might be a baby bear but there was no mama bear around. Now that I saw this video, it looks almost exactly like the creature that climbed down the tree at my house. Now I'm sure that it was a porcupine. Thanks again for clearing up the mystery- better than just seeing a photo for sure.
I was driving and noticed one in the very top branch of a small tree next to the road... i was a bit surprised but assumed that is where they sleep? The tree was bare so the porcupine stood out quite prominently lol.
The cutest waddle walk in the animal kingdom.

I saw one climb a tree in my backyard woods yesterday!! Exactly like this. Thanks for sharing!!!
Who knew??? Just went outside and there was a porcupine climbing our very tall northern pine tree.
