The Groundhog is also known as a woodchuck, or in some areas
as a land-beaver, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging
to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. Groundhogs
usually live from two to three years, but can live up to six
years in the wild. Mostly herbivorous, groundhogs primarily
eat wild grasses and other vegetation, and berries and agricultural
crops when available. Groundhogs also eat grubs, grasshoppers,
insects, snails and other small animals, but are not as omnivorous
as many other sciuridae.
