I have a groundhog living in my backyard, I see it in the afternoon, just a fat happy guy soaking up the warm sunlight and chewing the grass for hours.
I've got one that lives around the pond out back of my apartment. I see it going for swims quite often, and I think it might have a burrow with an underwater entrance under a willow tree, as I see it swim towards the tree and dive, bu not come back up, fairly often. Cute little guys.
My mom allowed a groundhog to live under our shed for years, I’ve seen a few babies throughout the years. What was most odd to me was she shared the space under the shed with a rabbit. Update a raccoon family of 6 has moved in and live with the groundhog
They eat as much as possible and hibernate through the winter...just like me! This is my spirit animal. I saw some marmots in Bregenz, Austria on a mountain a couple weeks ago. They're so cute!!
I saw one of these guys on a trip to Washington on Mount Rainier, they do this thing where they stand up and stare at tourists passing by, absolutely adorable.
@@katiekane5247 probably something like "those giant leggy bastards are back, i hope they drop some tasty snacks like the last herd that past through."
@@arthas640 lol then marmots get addicted to all the crap the food and just start following people everywhere then we get domesticated marmots over a long period of time
my neighbores planted a bunch of nut trees that they never clean up after so there's a literal army of squirels here. They love to dig up my garden burying their nuts since the garden soil is so soft and easy to dig in. They've been doing it less since i got a rottweiler for unrelated reasons but i still find my strawberries dug up every once in awhile.
@@hantingchen5497 I understand that, it was mentioned in the video. It is just the specific key difference of the animal, in this case one of them prefers to be more solitary.
I live in Ohio and was really confused to hear that anyone could be afraid of these guys. I see them in my yard every day in the summer. Sometimes I will play a sound clip of a groundhog call and they answer back... really cool little creatures.
I really like them. In the region of Switzerland I originally come from, there's a valley that we call the valley of the marmots. It is placed high in the mountains and it very quiet, apart from the marmots. It's really nice.
I just said to myself, "look up whether or not groundhogs hibernate"..crazy. I've been walking this dog I adopted and we take a trail through the woods. A week or two into March and all of a sudden there were groundhogs all over.
I thought I had one of these living in my back yard so I put a fence coordinating off the area by the hole so my dogs wouldn't hurt him, turned out it was a vixen and her pups. They are really cool to watch and love to steal my dogs squeaky toys. Kind of funny to hear loud squeaks coming from the woods in the middle of the night
Dingoes took the niche of the marsupial tiger, I say we keep them until we get the technology to bring back the marsupial tiger. And they are introduced
Except they use their bare "hands" to dig into frozen ground/permafrost. And probably can chew a tree for fun. * I don't think you want to fight anybody with those skills.
I work at a gold course and they are very friendly. They dont get fed, so dont worry, they just got used to all the people. If someone sees a marmot on the course we tell them to just clap, and the marmot will run away, but if you get low and pat your lap the marmots will home say hi! Ever pet a marmot? Their so fluffy! And the ones we've got love ranch croutons, it how we get them into cages, so we can take them off the course. We dont wanna hurt these fluffy boys! We use a natural chemical to knock them out, then take all the marmots, (babies too) and plant them in the fields surrounding our town.
I have raised many groundhogs, as I work for an aminal rehabilitator here in the Northeast of the U.S. They are very nice animals who come back their wholes lives to this area and can be fed by hand. But when they have babies down in that hole they get very feisty and have been known to bite ankles.
Oh, I saw one in the local...uh...church-yard...in downtown Ottawa. I watched it for a bit and it brought me a lot of joy. There's a lot of construction on the street, however...so I hope the little guy is doing okay.
I once went on a volunteer holiday in the alps with earth watch. It was a tour to observe marmots for a week. At the end, we get to hold one. It had very rough coat.
I played golf at a course near Reno, Nev., where marmots ruled. It was like playing around dozens of furry gnomes, plus they made extra holes for the golf balls.
We have a lot of marmots. One thing they love is climbing into cars through the undercarriage, the insulation around some wiring is apparently a great marmot snack, they can do quite a bit of damage. The young ones are very curious and will try to get in your house. But they’re cute and we put up with them until the predators deal with the excess population. 😢
Groundhogs (also sometimes called Whistlepigs) are all over here in Ohio. They're also not completely restricted to the ground. They've been known to run up trees when threatened.
My mother has a photo of my great great grandfather holding his pet groundhog on the front porch of his house, as the story goes he also had a bobcat later on
Hope! Oh lordy, its years from when I last heard the name- Madam was my entire childhood! She is the reason I got into agriculture- Didn't quite ended up working with animals but still. Thank you soo much for reminding me of this wonderful lady and those round sunshines. :3
My dog and I met what we thought was a Marmot, but wikipedia says they don't live around here, so it must have been a juvenile groundhog. He was a brave little guy; he wanted to fight my dog, but I didn't let that happen.
Maybe the love for wildlife is a calling! One that's very hard to resist! I really vibe with these things! Soo soothing and beautiful! Thanks Animal Logic
When l was younger there were yellow bellied marmots near the cabin l would spend some summer time in. They were so cool to watch, and somewhat friendly.
I remember when I woke one up on a hike. It was so still I thought it was dead. I got close and the poor thing woke up. He didn't run away, but he wasn't pleased to be disturbed.
I would see a family of groundhogs on my university campus. I would call them, Mr. Waddle, Mrs. Waddle and Waddle Jr. They were super cute. And yes Waddle Jr is half the size of it's parents. I also have a love hate relationship with them. They make me smile with their waddle but they ruin my tomatoes by taking that 1 bite then leaving it to rot. I've always wondered what groundhog stew tasted like.
Can't say about groundhogs,but boiled muskrat is quite tasty as a stew. Probably pretty similar taste. A rodent that eats healthy grass ,etc,not a city rat eating anything at all. Skin it,paunch it, put the whole carcass in water,bring to a boil,simmer. Let the carcass cool,separate the meat,add the usual carrots,onions maybe cubed potato,or cooked rice or boiled barley,mixed frozen veg,whatever looks promising and available.
They are the cutest little things! A little family of marmots lives in a grassy patch on the side of the road by my house. When driving by I always look to see if they are out and about!
I've never really bothered with the local groundhogs. Didn't know they were a type of marmot until today. I've watched Hope For Wildlife on Animal Planet about a year back.

Groundhogs discouraged my family from buying a house this year because you couldn't walk on the grass whatsoever or you'd sink. Apparently they made it their home while it was up for sale 😉
@@Jensenrobinb yes if they have a space that you can cool it down enough. I opened their window a little bit turn the heating vent in their room off and close their door. I just opened their door today I closed the window last week so they should start waking up within a few days or even tomorrow
Do Fowler’s Toads. I live in Maryland and catch them when it rains. They don’t like to be underground when it’s too wet. But I see that they can’t hop back unto the curbs so they just run alongside them. Very cute. I keep them until they breed... they can lay 10,000 eggs! I saw the tadpoles as a kid roaming through the woods. The ponds used to brew with them. Magical!

My mom allowed a groundhog to live under our shed for years, I’ve seen a few babies throughout the years. What was most odd to me was she shared the space under the shed with a rabbit.
Update a raccoon family of 6 has moved in and live with the groundhog
Lol!
How precious
That sounds like my dream home. I would install so many webcams. I would just make sure no wires!
Ours shares the space with a skunk. And its also under our shed haha
Same story shed and all only difference is that it was a raccoon 2 raccoons actually.

Funny… I do this in November..
Rocks hold plenty of minerals but they (marmots) are usually herbivores(animals that eat plants)

Groundhog = solitary

I'd love to live like a marmot. Hibernating during winter sounds like a swell idea.
Thought the same!
I do that already
Winter: I sleep
Tourists exist: O_o
And eating as much as you want during the summer without being judged, hell yeah 😩
I really like them. In the region of Switzerland I originally come from, there's a valley that we call the valley of the marmots. It is placed high in the mountains and it very quiet, apart from the marmots. It's really nice.
Their Kingdom🥹

does the dog chase them? there's few things my dog loves more than catching any kind of rodent.
Seen a marmot fight this summer driving through Rocky Mountain National Park. Stellar. 10/10 recommend.
They’re so fuzzy and chunky looking, I love it!
I love how he just plops down and starts munching!!!😂
love marmots, always go up into estes park in the summer and watch them chonk around

This just made my night. Don't stop reaching for it!
Just makes me fall in love with Danielle even more :/
You should do dingoes and tell everyone about why they are endangered due to breeding with dogs and hunting
Dingos are an introduced species. They are still dogs. They adapted to the environment but displaced native species.
Erlyk Dalkien .. debatable, and if so you’re still talking something like 10,000 years ago
@@johnc7937 actually, the dingo arrived in Australia only about 3000 years ago. You are right about them being endangered, though.
Dingoes took the niche of the marsupial tiger, I say we keep them until we get the technology to bring back the marsupial tiger. And they are introduced
Stock Name what about animals that evolved in the place where they’re from
the gentle chonks of nature
"Nice marmot." The Dude.
I have a groundhog that lives under my patio and I see her come out a few times a week. Last year she had babies.
omg!
when they're "fighting" they look like dude bros saying
"I saw you looking at my girl, man"
"come at me bra"
