The Groundhog that Got Off the Ground!

Oh my goodness! At first I thought, "Is this a Koala?" Haha! I've never seen a Groundhog in all my life, let alone one up a tree. A very fun find!

By the way, he's a part of the squirrel family, although he's monstrously bigger.

Lovely catch. You learn something new every day eh.. don't think I have seen one on the ground or up a tree.. well done.

He looks like he made a mistake by climbing the tree,, great catch.. and good to see a Ground Hog.. only hear about them in movies..

[Poppo Livy]

So is this one a Treehog? Johnathon Livingstone Groundhog perhaps?

[Osia Strasner]

Karen, I wouldn't even know what they look like if I came across one! @terryliv Terry, I think it's more of a Treehug!!

Great shot Kareen, thank you for sharing. He does not share the squirrels big bushy tail :)
