Woodchuck or Groundhog ? Actually it is one and the same and can be called by either name. Woodchucks are one of the larger members of the rodent family and like the beaver, its teeth grow continually. Unlike the beaver, woodchucks prefer drier areas where greens are abundant. The colours vary from  albino to black but are usually shades of brown. Woodchucks are characterized by their black feet. They are burrowing animals with long front claws and strong hind legs used for digging. When not sunning themselves they are foraging for greens. Usually a litter of four young are produced and can be seen in May.
