Groundhogs, (Marmota monax), also called woodchucks, one of 14 species of marmots (Marmota). Classified as a marmot, the groundhog is a member of the squirrel family, Sciuridae.
This stout-bodied rodent weighs up to 6 kg (13 pounds) and has a body length of up to 50 cm (about 20 inches) and a short, bushy tail up to 18 cm (7 inches) long. They have thick fur on the upper parts. The fur ranges in colour through various shades of brown. The fur in the feet are darker, and the underparts are buff.
Although groundhogs dig deep and extensive burrow systems, they are also good swimmers and can climb tall shrubs and sizable trees. They are most active in the morning and evening, eating grasses and other green plants, as well as some fruit and the bark and buds of trees. They feed heavily in summer and early fall, accumulating huge fat reserves for the winter. The animal is a true hibernator.
