Groundhog Characteristics
The Groundhogs are common terms for the same animal. and in some areas known as a land-beaver or whistle-pig, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. Most closely related to squirrels, groundhog can actually climb trees and also swim.
Groundhogs are covered with two coats of fur: a dense grey undercoat and a longer coat of banded guard hairs that gives the groundhog its distinctive "frosted" appearance.
Groundhogs in the wild eat succulent green plants, such as dandelion greens, clover, plantain and grasses. They also are tempted by nearby garden vegetables. Groundhogs purposefully put on weight in the summer, reaching their maximum mass in late August. They become lethargic and prepare for hibernation in October. By February, hibernating groundhogs have lost as much as half their body weight.
Groundhog Burrows
Groundhogs hibernate from October through February, and their breeding season begins soon after they wake up. If you must evict a groundhog from a burrow under your house, porch, or other building, do so shortly after they've emerged from hibernation or wait until late summer, after the young have been weaned and are living on their own.
