Whistlepig


In the golf course behind the house we are renting, there is a groundhog ferreting around for grubs and whatnot. The dude (and he MUST be a dude b/c he's flipping huge) waddles and digs around on the open green without a care in the world. I googled him, trying to find out if he was a groundhog or a woodchuck. Turns out he's both, as well as land beaver, whistlepig and ground squirrel. That's a lot of names for a big rodent, and not even as colorful as the ones the groundskeeper most likely has for him while fixing the damage to the course.

We find him entertaining though. Cute and furry woodland creatures add a bit of interest to the day.
