Tree porcupines, also known as the Brazilian porcupine or Coendou, typically range in length from about 24 to 30 inches (60 to 76 cm), not including their tails. Their tails can add an additional 12 to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm) to their overall size. These nocturnal rodents are notable for their spiny quills and arboreal lifestyle.

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.
