Groundhogs, woodchucks, whistle pigs, land beaver, or mouse bears...no matter what you call 'em, groundhogs are pretty interesting rodents. Join Marvin and Gabrielle as they chat about groundhogs, their biology, peculiar habits, and some history and holidays associated with this magnificent marmot!
*CORRECTION - We incorrectly stated Staten Island Chuck, but Staten Island Chuck was not the groundhog that died in NY, it was a stand-in named Charlotte, because Staten Island Chuck bit the last mayor!!*
