Other marmots, such as the yellow-bellied and hoary marmots, live in rocky and mountainous areas, but the woodchuck is a lowland creature. It is widely distributed in North America and common in the northeastern and central United States. Groundhogs are found as far north as Alaska, with their habitat extending southeast to Alabama.<br /><br />Vicki says: They eat grass and weeds and gardens.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-65734363559776400512011-04-27T18:15:14.189-04:002011-04-27T18:15:14.189-04:00Still don't know what a groundhog is, but they...Still don't know what a groundhog is, but they are certainly sweet looking.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-57068326076814327472011-04-27T17:44:48.824-04:002011-04-27T17:44:48.824-04:00So that's a ground hog!

They can be quite bold, can't they? even appearing on the side of the road. The first one I saw was when Larry and I were at the traffic lights and there on the side was a groundhog, only I didn't know what it was.
