This tree shows signs of porcupine activity, this can be seen by how the bark of the tree has been nawed at and eaten. Porcupines are nocturnal creatures and the North Country is the perfect habitat for them to reside, as there are many trees and vegetation that are conducive to their lifestyle. Porcupines are herbivores, as seen in the picture they eat plant matter and tree bark. The Porcupines here might have eaten a large part of the bark as they did not have anything else to eat durring the long winters in the North Country. The reason that I chose to take this picture is because of how interesting animal signs are around us in nature. I thought that it looked interesting how the porcupine large area of the tree. It was also interesting as we found the den of a porcupine in the vicinity.
