Marmota monax
Overall appearance:
It has the body type of a pear mixed with a 40 year old man.
Its arms are stubby and its face cannot decide which rodent it wants to be.
I feel like this is the only picture where it does not look like a overweight rat beast.
It is basically a useless otter.
However, some of them have cool tails so thats + 2.
12/25
'Strength:
They are stronger than the average rodent, but that is not saying much.
They are very good at digging holes.
Even though they look like hairy circles groundhogs can actually climb trees to look for more food.
Its very short arms are more powerful than they appear.
20/25 (for a rodent)
Survival:
The average lifespan for a groundhog is only 2-3 years in the wild.(Not good)
I do not grade animals on their lifespan in captivity.(Which is like 9-14 years)
They are amazing at burrowing which can be a lifesaving tactic.
They hibernate which allows them to live through winters easily.
Weak against cats according to Antonio.
Antonio actually has said that there is currently a groundhog vs cat war in his back yard.
13/25
Likability:
I am usually not fond of rodents.
I will admit some are cute but most look like fat rats with little ears.
I would not want one as a pet nor would I want to pet it.
A groundhog once ruined my yard during the summer and ruined my mom's flowers from Lowes.
I have no love for groundhogs.
I actually cry when it is groundhogs day.
