The porcupines found in North and South America are good climbers and spend much of their time in trees (but Old World porcupines stay on the ground).
In the winter New World porcupines eat bark and climb trees to find it. The females also resort to the trees to end the mating process.

Do porcupines behave weird?
Every animal behaves differently, depending on what they eat, where they live, and what is around them. For example, in a porcupine's case, when it is being attacked by a predator, it will roll up into a ball and flash out its quills. For an omnivore living in the habitat they live in, no, porcupines do not behave weird.
