Porcupines kill trees primarily by gnawing on their bark. They use their sharp teeth to strip away bark, which can girdle the tree and disrupt the flow of nutrients and water, ultimately leading to the tree's death. In addition to bark, porcupines may also feed on the cambium layer beneath the bark, further harming the tree's health. This feeding behavior can be particularly damaging to young or stressed trees.
