I recently spotted a woodchuck climbing up one of our apple trees !     Didn't know they did that !

I saw one climb a tree many years ago. To be fair, I was shooting at him at the time,  so that probably helped with motivation. :D

So, I've watched him do this a couple of times now. To get into the tree he starts out about 5 feet from the base of the tree. From a standing start he takes a couple of quick steps toward the tree, launches himself upwards, hits the tree trunk about 3 feet off the ground with his front feet and effortlessly propels himself into the crotch of the tree. He can do it a lot faster than I can explain it!

He does not seem to have any fear of falling whatsoever. I saw him jump down to the ground from a limb that is an honest 8 foot off the ground.
