Tunneling with a Woodchuck

15

Woodchucks, aka groundhogs, live in style underground. Their burrows usually have a main entrance, one or more “spyholes” to keep an eye on enemies, and separate toilet and nesting chambers. Their summer burrows are dug in pastures and meadows but come winter they move to a denning burrow. These winter burrows are dug close to a woody or brush filled area and are an ideal spot for woodchucks to hibernate their way through the winter.
