rock chuck?
I figured it out. It is a groundhog!....Where is Bill Murray when you need him?
I was totally going to say "beaver without a tail" or "big over grown rodent thing". Your answer makes more sense, let's go with that. Maybe you could borrow Grandma's BB gun or slingshot.
It's a mutated gopher/rock-chuck hybrid--- descended from rodents that live too close to the Nuskin factory.
Marmot was my guess, but they are a cousin to the ground hog. Ugly little fella.
You should set up a trap and then keep him in it as an example to all his friends that come around.
He made the mistake of going in my neighbor's garage. She called animal control and I think he won't be around again. He didn't know how nice we were.. Pushed his luck too far
The neighbor, Sherry Page, said animal control called it a "yellow-bellied marmot" or a strange exotic creature called a "rock chuck".
Wikipedia says:
The groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as a woodchuck, or in some areas as a land-beaver, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. 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.[2]
Wendy wins as first to post the right answer. Don't know what you won but you win. Perhaps our admiration and some ice cream when you come?
Gopher Everet? No thanks Delbert. Half a gopher would only arouse my appetite....
Don't know why that immediately came to my mind....
