When I pulled up to campus this morning, it was scampering down a hill. It started going under cars and eating the acorns that got broken up by the tires.
 It was really chubby and didn't have a beaver's tail. Best guesses from asking and looking at the Internet are marmot or groundhog. |

hahahaha....
Yeah, that is a ground hog.
They can get very mean when cornered. Their teeth are super long and sharp too.
I shot one that was living under my porch from my dining room table a few weeks back...

They espeically seem to like areas near water. There is a bike path close to here that runs next to a river, and it is swarming with them about this time of year. I guess they are scrambling to fatten up for hybernation.

Here in NY the backyard is a 'woodchuck' haven, the bassets now even ignore them. I pop em with a .22 or for fun the .54 Sharps just because of the threat of rabies. You have never lived till you see a .54 bullet slam into a woodchuck....Strawberry Fields forever....

Those things did thousands of dollars worth of damage to my grandparents barn by undermining the foundation, you should have punted it. My best/worst idea was funneling gas into a hole and lighting w/ a rag on a stick, the vapor filled the massive tunnel complex, and flames shot out of unexpected places, it shook the ground pretty well.

I've never seen anything so chubby run so fast.
I hope I see more of them. I liked it. |

Their fur makes for surprisingly comfortable gloves, and coat liners. The groundhog fur industry has become surprisingly significant - and contentious - in Ontario's economy since the auto manufacturers downsized. Huge export market.

Bri . . . every time I see your sig I think that the word "fetus" needs to be thrown in there right after "whale."
