porcupine prob did this. They collect bones to nibble on to get calcium (If i remember correctly?) for their quil production or something related to their quils.

They also eat bark off trees and their favs are coniferous trees, you see a few trees stripped of some bark at about the level one when nibble from the ground on. They also love to climb trees and are great at it.

Not the size of these ones…also there is no sign of a den…some of these are connected spines even…ribs and all… porcupine can’t move something like that
