The Groundhog (Woodchuck)
Lovely little (not) critter and he's under our house...wonder what he's planning on eating...our logs?This picture is not the actual groundhog at our house but we have seen a picture of ours. This is what I found when googling it. "Groundhogs are excellent burrowers, using burrows for sleeping, rearing young, and hibernating. The average groundhog has been estimated to move approximately 35 cu ft, or 710 lb, of dirt when digging a burrow. Though groundhogs are the most solitary of the marmots, several individuals may occupy the same burrow. Groundhog burrows usually have two to five entrances, providing groundhogs their primary means of escape from predators. Burrows are particularly large, with up to 46 ft of tunnels buried up to 5 ft underground, and can pose a serious threat to residential development by undermining building foundations.[4]
ARE WE IN TROUBLE OR WHAT?
