The largest ground squirrel commonly known as a woodchuck is a common nuisance in backyards everywhere. Also called groundhogs for their habits and appearance, especially in late summer when they've been packing on the pounds in preparation for a long cold winter. When startled or alarmed they can emit a shrill warning whistle, inspiring the nickname whistle pig. It has short legs, strong claws, and a stubby tail.
Groundhogs are covered with two coats of fur. The outside fur keeps water out and the inside fur keeps in body heat. Groundhogs weigh between 4 and 14 pounds, and live most of their lives underground. The fox, wildcats, coyotes and hawks are their main natural enemies.
Because of their ease of adaptation to human environments, our home becomes their home. Backyard landscapes provide attractive goods, such as vibrant flower garden, lush grass with delicious clover, vegetable gardens, and fruits from trees that groundhogs favor. Once a groundhog has found ample food source, it will look for a den site that is close by. Your home is the den site due to increased land development in groundhog inhabited areas, and the overpopulation of groundhogs does not help. Loose vents, storage sheds, low decks and porches are the most common den locations.
