In upstate NY they are WOODCHUCKS, not groundhogs. Groundhog is so Pennsylvania. ;)
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck,
If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Some park employee guesstimated from the how long a groundhog took to excavate a hole, and then extrapolated into wood chips from the volume of earth removed.
I have been calling them Ground Chucks lately. We have at least 4 groundhogs on our property. I was talking about them a few weeks ago and ground chuck is what my brain decided I needed to say. Just a lingering side effect from the Topamax that I took for one month 5 years ago. At least this time it was funny and sort of right.
