Description
Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, are present across much of North America. They are part of a large group of ground squirrels, known as marmots. This one, was part of a small community that had taken up residence on the manicured lawns of a former mental hospital, now a park in Raleigh, North Carolina. Standing motionless, alert to possible danger, and if alarmed will "whistle" to warn others. This leads to another nickname, the whistlepig. The clover is one of their favorite foods. Contrary to urban myth and a popular insurance commercial, the name woodchuck has nothing to do with wood or chucking it, lol. It stems from the Algonquian name for the animal, "wuchak".
